Morning, folks.. I picked up a 15-2 that someone has dropped on the rear sight. Boogered it up some, so I peened it back as much as I can. Still doesn't look very good, so I've read on here that the Firesight for the GP100 is a direct replacement for the stock Dan.

Looking on the net, I'm only seeing it sold as a set with the front sight. Is that a direct replacement, too, or do I need to source one from EWK?

I'm not sure if you need to fit do any fitting or not. I have heard the Firesight will fit. Here is a link for millet sight as well. Front sights....I'm almost certain you need to go to EWK for the fiber op.

Yes, the Ruger firesight fits the small frame Dan. And yes, you also get a front sight for your GP 100. Lol. I suspect there are no more Millett sights left at BFR. That NOS was quickly bought up by unscrupulous hoarders who bought several at a time hehehe. They quickly ran out of stock.

They still will go to sell point when you click them. I would hope they get rid of item on site if not available.

I purchased a Millet from BFR about a month ago and it shipped out immediately.  Still need to put it on though.

That is the millet.  I personally like it. However, the fiber op firesight is pretty sweet.

Never mind. Magnum Research wants $14.19 shipping and fondling. surprised For a sight? That you could put in an envelope? I called them and said Shirley cool you can just drop it in a mailer. "If you order today, I'll cut it to $9.95." Forget it, I'll do without. mad

Yeah, that's getting real tiring.  I tried to order something on-line the other day for $4.49.  The shipping came out to $4.99. I told them to keep it.

Then Friday I sold a car part to a guy on-line.  I hit him for $10 for shipping and thought I was robbing him. Then I set up the shipping on UPS and they said it would cost $14.67.  This thing is only 2 lbs. So I went to USPS and they sent it for only $8.98.

Geez.
