Model 654
« on: July 31, 2007, 03:31:22 PM »
I have a Model 83 six inch 41 Mag . It is a field model I bought on consignment several years ago(serial #60). It was sent back to the factory to be fitted with the wine wood grips by the prior owner. I purchased the steel screw adjustable rear sight along with the next two shorter ramp front sights. I have settled on the next shorter sight then the original for my eyes and the hand loads I shoot.
My question is I see from time to time a patridge front with a gold bead. Does Freedom Arms sell this and if they do what height is it. I have my S&W 629 Classic set up with this type of sights and like it very much.
I know I can call Freedom Arms and ask but I like to discuss this with like minded people who may have experience with this.

The FA bead or "express" front sights are available in the same heights as the ramp front sights. Measure from the top of the sight base to the top of the sight with a caliper / micrometer. You probably need a .330", but you'd have to measure it.
