Ruger Old Army

I have two ROA's, love them.

I have one 1847 Whitneyville Dragoon, love it.

I don't understand why you need to compare a new design to old design.

They are not competitors after all.

So, I bought both.

OldWolf,

I have a ROA that was made, I think in 1972, #140-000xxx. I was one of the first ones made. It is blued.

MCgunner,

Rather than wait for Ruger to make a taller front sight available to you, consider filing /grinding off the bottom or your rear sight. .060" can easily be removed without exposing the innards and if you leave a little flange on either side that overhangs the top of the frame it will still look almost like a normal rear sight.
Replacement parts for the sight are available from Ruger and inexpensive.
This won't completely correct your sight picture for shooting Lee conicals but it helps considerable.

Old Wolf, I just read your post. I agree with you. Let each man shoot the gun that suit's him. The one he like's and is comfortable with...Okay...
