Who/where makes a decent ladder sight to put on my new Jap '92?

Here's one place. Just keep checking here.

Browning or Winchester hasn't contracted a new run for a couple years.

Here is a copy: https://www.dixiegunworks.com/produ...21&osCsid=hkhefaloin28pu6u5lr9r79e31

I know nothing of the quality.

I think they are all the same Red River Sight company sight.

Buffalo Arms is "Temporarily" out of stock too !

They certainly will dress up a gun!!!

Thanks, I saw that already but they don't have any in stock.

Try a Uberti distributor.

Midwest Gunworks has the ladder sight for the Browning 1886 saddle ring carbine in stock. I bet it's the same one as the ones on the new 92. The folks at MGW have always been very knowledgeable and helpful, I bet their tech dept would know for sure if they're the same.

Steely,

Having any luck?
Posted By: Steelhead Re: Ladder Sight - 04/22/16
Negative, every source is 'Out of Stock'
Posted By: kaywoodie Re: Ladder Sight - 04/22/16
Damn!
Posted By: Steelhead Re: Ladder Sight - 04/22/16
I'll find one eventually.
Posted By: kaywoodie Re: Ladder Sight - 04/22/16
You will! I've always found it ironic that the stuff most folks want is the stuff mfg's make the least. Or just stop making. True with lots of thinks.

I played hell trying to find an adult buttstock for a youth 20ga 870. I could fill up my truck with youth stocks I found.


I might have to go to Gunbroker for the ladder sight.

What are you putting it on?

Gentlemen, Thank You!
I checked a couple days ago and no joy.
Stopped by the 'fire tonight and saw you'd been successful so didn't linger and picked up one for myself.

It's going on a Browning Low Wall 357. I love thtat little rifle but the receiver peeps have more drawbacks than advantages.

Can't wait to try it out.
Posted By: Steelhead Re: Ladder Sight - 04/23/16
Well let us hope it's a decent sight
Posted By: Steelhead Re: Ladder Sight - 04/26/16
Sight arrived, it's identical to the one Woodie linked in his first post.

It will be a few weeks before I get it on the rifle.
Posted By: Johnny Dollar Re: Ladder Sight - 04/26/16
I checked on UPS and mine should arrive tommorow. I'll put mine on in a day or so...but...getting out to shoot it might be another thing. I have some lead 215 grain loads I want to play with.
Posted By: Steelhead Re: Ladder Sight - 04/27/16
We just began a kitchen remodel on Monday, so the house is obviously in complete chaos. If I can find my punch, I might change it out this weekend and shoot it.
Posted By: kaywoodie Re: Ladder Sight - 05/20/16
So Scott????

How did this turn out??? Have you had a chance to hammer on that sight yet?
Posted By: Steelhead Re: Ladder Sight - 05/20/16
No, with the entire kitchen remodel this month, the house is a disaster and just too much going on. Once we get everything put back together I'll play with it.

Changed my mind, as I just acquired a 1928 vintage Win 94 in .25-35. The old Browning 92 will have to wait!

For those still interested in a nicely done reproduction ladder rear sight, Dixie gunworks still has them, as I just ordered 3 more.
