I have a '73 vintage SBH. I bought a new white outline rear sight blade and it is thicker than the original thus will not fit into the blade slot.
New blade is .050" where the original is .040" thick.
Anyone know if Ruger changed the slot size at some point?
This SBH was my Dad's. He bought it new in '73 and I don't want to change more of it just to know if the white outline helps my aging eyes to align things better. Last resort would be to thin the new blade down to fit and re-blue it as I don't want to change the sight base or add a scope.
Thanks
