I got a good price on a used Rossi Model 720 .44 Special, but the reason I got the good price was because the rear sights are missing. I thought I'd be able to get new ones, thus the good deal would remain a good deal. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Taurus, who bought most Rossi designs, doesn't support the Model 720! They referred me to an Interarms representative, who said that there are no Model 720 rear sights to be had! Now the good deal doesn't sound so good. Are there any generic sights that might fit? Any ideas would certainly be appreciated!
Rear Sights for Rossi .44 Spl?

Have you checked to make sure that adjustable sights from other Rossi models won't work? I have an Interarms brochure from the early 90's and will check it to see if anything else might be applicable.
Is your 720 the model with the non-fluted cylinder and full hammer?
If so, I'd like to buy it...for a good deal, of course.

Other Rossi Sights
Have I tried sights from other Rossis? Didn't think of that. I would have assumed that all the company reps who were telling me that no sights were available for this model might have mentioned it if sights from another model would fit.
My local gunsmith has tried sights from an old S&W, but even though they looked "close" before we started, they weren't very close after we got into it.
This Model 720 has a fluted cylinder and an exposed hammer. The hammer looks a lot like the one on my S&W Model 15.
Thanks for your ideas.

Have you tried Numrich?

They don't put their entire inventory on line. Sometimes you have to call them and ask. Their phone # is on their web page. Good luck.

Broshear, I think I have what you need. I have an extra adjustable rear sight for a rossi 971. It's comeplete but you probably will need a smith for the screw that holds it down. My personal rossi 971 has the same sight but the sight uses a different size screw to attach it to the revolver. You can have it for $10 plus a buck to ship. You can also try calling M&M, they have parts for rossi's also. (703) 739- 2150
