[butcherboy]

hi, i have a ruger old model single six. dovetail rear sight and blade front. how can i make the front sight taller? i read somewhere on the site ( last year) about using pipe/wire insulation. cant remember exactly. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. im trying to make something that will slip over the front sight ( without drilling through the original) thanks

I am aware of your question but a question pops up. Why?

Tig, epoxy, or replace.

What is pipe or wire insulation?
