    ROA parts.....

    Bad news, folks. As you know, we go over to the USA for a while every year, and take advantage of the price difference and availability of bits and pieces to help out our shooting buddies here. Re ROA bits, there are NO foresights in any of the couple of dozen places I've tried.

    BUT, I can STILL get spare nipples that are made to the same spec - prezackly - of the original hex-head Ruger versions. Now I'm not trying to p*ss in anybody'd hats here, but my price, including UK mail, bears no resemblance to that charged in THIS country, so anyone who is interested, please PM me ASAP so's I get get a heads-up on the numbers.

    And no, I'm not going to publish the price publicly, if you are interested, then PM me.

    Folks, from personal experience with Tac the last time he has a stock in, these are a good buy.
    True freedom includes the freedom to make mistakes or do foolish things and bear the consequences.

    I'd offer the opinion that compared with ANYTHING in the UK, they are practically free.

    BTW, Joe just advised me that I can have nipples for Pietta, but NOT for Uberti.

    So any Pietta owners out there looking for replacement nipples that actually cost less than the gun - I'm your man.

    Listed as available for SS ROA,as are some other useful parts.
    Not viable usually as there is an extortionate international postage.
    Maybe if someone is going over to the US though.

    Ooo... that is exactly what I'm after... but $40 shipping for a $3 part!
    I just got twelve nipples and a nipple key shipped for only $12....

    It also mentions "adjustable" !!!??? With a file I suppose....

    .....now I remember I started a thread including how I didn't find any ROA fore sights in the other couple dozen places I looked.

    Would probably best be fitted by someone with the right tools and some experience in gunsmithing.
    The Ruger spec nipples have a large flash hole not best suited to T7,not a problem if you stick with what Ruger stamp all round the cylinder,
    but you could still view that as a serving suggestion.
