One more custom touch to my Wrangler!

[Biblethumpncop]

I have been customizing my Ex-Birdshead Wrangler. I swapped the grip frame, installed a Bisley trigger and a Single Six hammer and grip screws (no more torx). I had a gunsmith machine the frint sight off and I installed a Marbles #29N 3/8" dovetail sight with a brass bead. It was fun but I wanted a better sight that my 50 year old eyes could see better.

I stumbled across an ad for Skinner sights for rifles. I took a chance and bought a 3/8" dovetail brass sight.

It arrived today and I had to file the brass dovetail slightly and press-fitted it with a few blows of the punch and hammer.

The sight was too tall so I reduced the height and rounded the muzzle end of the sight to look more appropriate.

I'm very pleased and it is easier to see!

Cool, that Wrangler is taking shape nicely!

How did the Bisley trigger affect the feel? Since my Bisleys have the unique grip frame and trigger combo, I wonder how the standard grip frame meshes with the more curved trigger?

(I love the Bisley hammer! The shorter reach makes cocking them a breeze. )

Stay safe.

The Bisley trigger feels great to me- no comparison!

I just may have to give one a whirl, thanks!

Great work on the Wrangler, too.

Stay safe.

ANYTHING to improve the sights on the Wrangler is a worthy venture.

I shot groups about 6" low at 15 yards, so I filed it down some more. I measured with my calipers and it should be the same as the Marbles sight I removed. I'm going out again to try it out.

The brass sight is easier to see for sure.

Cool project. Thanks for sharing. I like the front sight. I liked it before you filed the front too. Something about brass is satisfying to me.

Nice job @Biblethumpncop
Looking at this thread on my iPhone I read about the brass sight and thought that I probably wouldn’t like that, then I scrolled down.
I must admit I like it. Your revolver looks great.
I also like the silver grip frame on the black frame, cylinder and barrel.
