Limestone,

I just looked at your pictures and the top 2 sights use the fancy curled spring which is hard to make and you will need another to copy the shape and get the length right otherwise the sight will not stand at the correct angle. Also if you look at those 2 sights you will see the threaded bushing in the upper staff is placed above another hole which is plugged and when you remove the thumb screw you will see another zero mark on the upper staff. All of the 62b’sthat have the curled spring are made that way. My only thought is they were made for a gun that needed a taller sight but never sold so they were modified to be sold for the 73.

I wasn’t going to do anything with that sight and I’m glad it will work for you.
