It looks like there has been a run on Williams Firesights on Midway lately. Just got on there to order one for the 357 I'm putting together for my sister and they're out of stock. Gee, I wonder how that happened.

Just a note on adding this sight to a large frame. The DWA sight springs are too big to fit into the Williams sight. The DWA sight screw doesn't fit quite right. I ordered Ruger 100 springs and screw from Numrich to solve this problem.

purchased some roll pin punches.
now all i need to do is find a supplier for the springs to suit the sight and its on.
the fronts the challenging one.

Is there a thread showing how to install these? I just ordered a set for my Monson 15-2. Do I just remove the elevation screw and the roll pin and reuse the spring and screw?

To remove the sight, first drive out the roll pin in the front with a 1/16" pin punch. Then unscrew the height adjustment screw all the way and the sight will come off. I reused the screw and roll pin. Read my first post in this thread, there are 2 different diameter springs, if you have the smaller diameter they will work in the Williams sight. If not, buy 2 Ruger springs as I recommended earlier in the thread. To install, I dab a bit of grease on the spring ends to hold them in the sight. Then I screw the adjustment screw in several turns to hold the sight on loosely. Then I reinstall the roll pin, being careful it is a bit tricky to line up the hole.

My sights showed up today. Thanks to your instructions it was really easy to get them installed. I was able to use my Grace roll pin punches that I bought myself for Christmas. I drove out the pin enough to clear the old sight, removed the screw, put on the new sight and I used the punch to align the sight to the frame while I gently tapped the pin back in. Once the pin was mostly in I tapped it in the rest of the way with the roll pin punch to avoid peening the roll pin.
the sights look amazing!! I would have never guessed they would be such a perfect fit. I'm going to order a few more!

Here is my 15-2 race gun. Jeweled trigger, hammer, and insides, along with an EWK EH 6" barrel and a muzzle break. I installed the Pachmayr 'gripper' that came with another 15-2 that I bought recently.
I'm editing this post to add some additional pictures...as it turns out I was in something of a Nyquil induced haze when I was attempting to post the pictures yesterday. Thanks to SMKYTXN for the assist yesterday (below)...here's some NEW pictures for your trouble

Maybe not...I guess it's a little tricky to add an image to a post on this site with an iPad

I know this thread is a couple months old, but I have been looking for a replacement sight set for my Monson DW Model 715 357 and this looks like a great option!
For the Williams #70958 sight set, will the front sight work on a 715? How do you remove the front sight anyway?? Rear sight looks easy enough. Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see there is a allen screw in the front that releases the sight and looks like I need to buy the EWK front optic sight. Helps if you read some more before posting.

You found it Paul! We're just not accustomed to looking at the front of our own barrels...

Sorry for bring up an old thread but I just wanted to thank dw forum for this info. Just got me a set of the Williams sight.i always wanted a better rear sight but didn't know these were available. Now just wish I would have went with the green fo from ewk. I have the red one currently. I'll see how the green and red look together. I think I would like all green but we will see.

That is an awfully nice " Gold Series" you have there. I have a 6". You aren't planning to put the firefights on that I hope. It is your call though. They have their own distinctive sights.

No im not going to change the gs. This will be for my 715

I'll second the GREEN RED GREEN sights It really does make a difference.

So you are saying I should keep the red front and green rear? I'll see how I like when I get it. I can see how it would help sight alignment
