    Yes they put a new barrel on around $200. They did mine for free but I asked what it would cost they also reblued my pistol

    This is what I did with mine a number of years ago. I don't shoot it much but like the sight picture. Has held up so far. It is a piece of light pipe from a shotgun sight.

    I don't have the pistol with me here. I left it in my other safe at my dad's. I don't have enough gun storage at my place. I think i will give Fermin a call and see what he can do. If it doesn't workout i willhunt for a smith that can cut a dove tail in the existing base.

    Todd N. You are correct. However,, MOST of the more common SBH's that are blued have the soldered on front sight. The screw on front sight isn't common for most of the blued centerfire guns. And yes,, "never say never" with Ruger. I've been collecting them for over 30 years & I still get surprised occasionally.
