When you think of all the kit type guns that might benefit from a good scope base. Longer barrel guns appropriate for plinking and hunting small game. Like the 4-inch Model 34/63's (there's a million of them) and the 3 and 5-inch Model 60's.
Guys like me with not so great eyesight might buy a few and put some dot sights on those handy little guns. Sounds like the OP sure likes his.

UPDATE: A kind fellow has offered to help with the mount design.
I would be interested in adding an adjustable rear sight model J-frame mount to my mount offerings (
Raptor Engineering). Problem is I do not have an example revolver to make measurements from and to do the prototype fittings. I would love to have a 317 to keep my 617 company but current funds are otherwise spoken for -- kid #2 transferring from local JC to out of state 4-year college in Jan!
If someone with an adjustable rear sight J-frame model would like to work with me to get the design done they would get a free mount. I have done this with others for the Freedom Arms and Buck Mark mounts I offer and it worked out well for each of us.
