M77 slotted front sight
Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2023 10:47 am
Like many others, I prefer open sights and enjoy looking at the Ruger offerings. I've read in the Reference about some that had slotted front sights but I don't think I've ever seen one.
Is there a story about why and how, apparently, a very few got slots for a hood? Did Ruger supply or make a sight hood for those guns and, if so, how rare are they? Are they the same as the non-slotted sights, otherwise? Is there a known SN range beyond the published 70-10491 high number? Would a Letter indicate the unique sight?
Thanks. Lots of questions, I know. Fascinating stuff.
