Replacing M77/44 rear sight
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2024 7:40 pm
I recently acquired a very nice 3-digit which had its rear sight removed for a scope. I bought a Ruger replacement part to restore it to stock but the dovetail seems a bit over-size. I drove it partway with a light hammer and wood block but I didn't want to go hard and it sits a little high. Is it normal to have to do a shaping with a small file first?
