Deacon Doug Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Is there a way to change the original ROA rear sights so the guns would be legal for Frontiersman/ Plainsman? Deacon Doug
Sedalia Dave Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Yes but it requires removing the adjustable sight, Welding up the frame, and remachining the top strap so that it resembles the fixed sight version. It's rather expensive to have done. 1 2
Leroy Luck Posted August 4 Posted August 4 I’ve thought about that avenue quite a bit… but it was described to me that at the end of the day it’s still a bastardized gun that probably ain’t worth what you’d have in it. Also you’d have to change out the front sight too. But to me it ain’t worth paying the going rate for ROAs with fixed sights. I’ll go Remington’s or Colt’s til I find a reasonable priced set of ROAs. 1
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Or, you can just sign up for an age-based category, and shoot it as-is. Maybe get a pair of fixed-sight cap guns for Plainsman/Frontiersman. Still lotsa fun! --Dawg 4 1
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Quote Ruger Blackhawk and Ruger Old Army adjustable sight frames may be modified by removing the rear sight assembly, welding up the sight cutout, re-contouring the frame top strap, and cutting a new sight notch to replicate Colt SAA or Vaquero frames. The ramp front sight must be replaced with a blade-type in order to be allowed as a fixed sight model revolver. SHB p.37 1 7
