Replacing front sights

[Brent Vinson]

I've got several BP revolvers. Most all of 'em shoot low and not exactly to point of aim. There are dozens of different heights and style front sights which fit into a 3/8 inch dovetail. Williams, Marble's and Lyman all make bead, ramp and blade varieties. I was thinking a bead sight might be really cool.

( I know, not SASS legal, but so what...)

My problem is, my local gunsmith is a P.I.A.

He wants way too much money just to cut the dang dovetail. Has anyone had any good experiance with a gunsmith who can do this job for a reasonable amount of money and has a decent turnaround time ?

I might do two or three pistols at once if the price was not too high.

Any feedback/recommendations are most welcome.

Thanks All

mine shoot high

I have a Ruger Old Army and pretty new a Rogers and Spencer. Both shoot rediculous high. This is something that bothered me since I owned them. Short of glueing something on the front sight I have not found anything I can do. You say yours shoot low. That would be easy to fix, just file down the front sight and it will come up. When they shoot high, this is a pain!
