Hi steveb
On one of your posts,I think it was with the Ranchdog 44 mould,which i have also and waiting for my replacement,you showed your M92 with a Williams FP peep sight and a Marbles fiber optic front sight in a dove tail slot,ok?
Now I have a Rossi M92 with a half octaganal/round 24 inch barrel,which is a real joy to shoot and lot's of fun and it has accounted for a very good number of pigs and goats here in Australia with very good accuracy,my model has the front sight on the barrel band and the old plain iron sights,i was wondering was your rifle the same and did you get a dovetail slot made for the front sight?How did you know what height in front sight to go for?,Your M92 looks like mine,except for yours is stainless.
I'd like to get a setup like yours,with the fiber optic front sight and the peep sight,did you do it yourself?Can you give me all the info you can on how to do it,I don't know or have an idea on how pick a front sight height.
And your gun looks awesome and thats how I want mine setup.
Cheers mate any help would be appreciated

Hi Dale, sorry I didnt get back with you on this before now,I just now ran across this thread. My Rossi 92came with the dovetail cut in the barrel and had the standard front post and rear iron sights. I replaced the front post with the Marble's Front Sight .450" Height .531" Width 3/32" Fiber Optic Green . http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=655240 To be honest I more or less guessed at what height of front sight I needed as the different sight height calculators confuse me somewhat( it doesnt take much sometimes:roll: )
I replaced the rear sight with the Williams FP-94/36 http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=712881
I had to have a local gunsmith drill and tap the reciever so I could install the reciever sight.

these are the sights as it came from the factory
