Sights for an old .44 mag Topper barrel
« on: July 27, 2011, 01:32:40 PM »
I bought an old .44 mag barrel (I guess it is a topper, I don't know anything about these old barrels. It has a really thin profile), the front is drilled and tapped for a sight and the rear has a dovetail cut, and I need to add sights to this.

I looked thru the FAQ's to see what I need, but all of the old pictures are gone. I can't figure this out without pictures.  :o ;D

I don't want an expensive set, but I want something decent (not plastic).

What do I need? Links please.  ;)

Thanks, Dave

Try the Marbles Bullseye, but any 3/8" dovetail rear sight should work, Lyman makes a folder that may be similar or the same as the original sight , choose a front sight to match, use the Brownell's sight calculator in the peep and firesights FAQs link to figure out height.
