Ruger army sight conversion
For sass rules, you are not to use the adjustable sight old army but per their rules you can convert it.
However they require welding area where the rear sight was, then recutting the notch.
If doing this would the frame need to be heat treated after?
Would be easier to just machine a piece to fit there but that is not allowed.
Ruger army sight conversion
If it was me... I would remove the existing adjustable sight and file/grind a piece of bar stock or aluminum to fit the existing sight slot and utilize the same screw. I would would then groove the fabricated piece for a rear sight. I would not permanently alter my gun, and if I was a gambling man I would bet that Ruger will re-make the Old Army.
