You can try Viking Arms - the Ruger importer, but I'm guessing that you'll be more likely to get a 'tour of the Solent ticket on the 'Mary Rose'' than get anything out of them. I've never succeeded.

Ruger discontinued the spares for their BP pistols very shortly after they ended production.
I Doubt you'll find an original new part anywhere.

Is it the whole rear sight you need or just the blade? As far as i can tell from the SKU listing they never offered the rear sight body as a standalone part (or the whole assembly).

If memory serves me right isn the Red/black Hawk the same gun but cartridge instead of b/p. ??

Try an LPA sight - Italian made, very good quality.

Good answer.

By all means try them, they sure as hell can't be any worse than Viking Arms, that's certain.

Yup, great bone of contention, stopping production of THE most successful BP revolver of all time, regardless of era. And then, in spite of the ten-year spares rule, stopping sales of spare parts that were unique to the ROA.

Luckily, as many here know, I can still get correct s/s hex nipples and wrenches from my source in PACNW, at a price that makes them more like bits of threaded metal rather than portions of the Crown Jewels...

Numrich have stock of the rear sight but will no longer ship outside of US.
I have ordered ROA parts from them in the past.
