The sights for the H&R Reising's are almost identical, the only difference is the maybe a little shorter and they have stamped in gussets at the bend, if you know a good welder those could be removed. The elevators look identical but I see they are listed as sold out - a couple years ago I was looking for87M sights and they still had them, I found an original M87 set at Tulsa, still have to make mounting screws.

There are a couple forums with threads dealing just with the 87M's, the Reising sights have been well known to that group for a long time and is probably most of the reason the elevators are now sold out.


************* I just remembered there was another place selling these, they still list sights and the elevators!

They also have the mounting screws but they are flat head for the Reising and the M87's used a low button head, don't know if the threads are the same.
