Need help with a front sight height (possibly a Ruger MK pistol)

[Dolomite_supafly]

I have recently bought a Ruger MKIII that does not have any iron sights. It has a high top rail (not the standard rail height) and a bottom rail on the barrel for lights or lasers. It is also threaded so I will be using my suppressor on it.

I could just use a red dot but I prefer irons from time to time.

I got an adjustable Glock rear sight (thanks nuz) and it will fit very nicely into the top rail. The height works out to me needing a front sight that is ~.440" tall. Well it turns out that the same height is listed for Ruger MK series of pistols.

What I am needing is someone to measure their sights to see if a Ruger tall front sight is ~.440" from the bottom of the base to the top of the blade. TacSol lists them as well and I will call them in the morning to ask them.

And if anyone has a sight for a Ruger that is ~.440" that they are not using I will buy it.

Or if anyone else knows of a sight that is ~.440" tall that is installed using a screw and not dovetail I would appreciate the lead.

Thanks

Got it sorted out and ordered the correct sight.

Now to install a Glock rear sight on a Ruger 22/45 then drill and tap the barrel for a front sight.

doh I have the front sight from mine, it fell off and I never put it back on (I use a red dot on it).

Yep, i got the factory front sight and don't use it. From off my

22-45.

If you have any use for it Gordon, I'd be happy to drop it by for you.
