Early 80's model 44. Missing front and rear sights. Were can I get a rear adjustable sight for my DW? Fronts are very available. Thanks

Ebay often has sights for sale. The trick is to find the right one. Millett rear sights are actually better. As a last resort you can have the shroud drilled and tapped and a scope mounted.

If you have the early style, you might be able to drill and tap a new hole in the frame for the elevation screw. Be sure to measure everything carefully first to be sure that will work.

DakotaJack's reply is now pinned in parts and service; "Rear Sights".

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
