Don't quote cause i don't know for sure but I think that is factory. I've seen to many for it not to be. If I'm wrong, ooops

I believe you are exactly right.

The Ruger .44 Carbine Owners Manual lists part number C-76R:
Rear sight, Receiver, (Williams) for $4.75!!!!

They went up a little it seems, but are still available.

Probably the biggest difference between the original Model 44 (including the "Deerstalker" model), made from 1961 to 1985 and the later version introduced in 2000 (99/44 "Deerfield Carbine") is that the early series came with a four-shot tubular magazine and the latest ones were made with four-shot rotary magazines. There were other differences too, of course.
