Replacing M77/44 rear sight
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 n...

New Lipsey's 77/22 Hornet African
This is just a little bit ridiculous yet cool and I want one. My FFL is on the allocation list but Lipsey's says they don't know when they'll be available. We'll see.

Re: Is it SS or something else?
Great looking six-gun. I've read that some HC finishes are harder than others, with Metalife about the hardest and maybe the highest quality. I don't know for sure that mine is actually Ron Mahovsky's work or not. I think Metalife is known for its satin finish, like mine, which is very attractive IM...

Re: Is it SS or something else?
Yes, of course, Chad. I realized that later. I'm still getting educated.

Re: change of username
Hey Bill,
I have found another person posting on other Ruger forums as Carbineguy. In light of that, I would like to change my ROCS user name to Ruger8r, if that is OK with you guys.

Re: Is it SS or something else?
Metalife is a type of hard chrome finish that is probably the best known among a few companies that do/did it. I recently picked up an RB32 (6530) that I thought was SS at first. It is still a fairly rare and handsome revolver and lighter than SS. It came with the O box and contents and aftermarket ...

Re: Bisley Single Seven model 8168
Thank you. Sorry about the name confusion.
I've seen similar box labels elsewhere. Is that a dealer's label?

Re: Bisley Single Seven model 8168
Thanks, Terry. I'm sure proud to own it.
I wonder if there have been other single-action revolvers shipped without the barrel roll mark. I don't recall seeing anything in RENE but I haven't read everything.
