66 and 67 Yellow Ramp front sight

[Muley Gil]

I installed red, yellow, lime green, orange and white inserts over the years for numerous LEOs in the Birmingham, Alabama area.

A toothbrush handle makes a good source for inserts.

General consensus says it's possible I guess a factory letter is in order

I had a Model 66 2 1/2" and a Model 65 4" both with factory blue inserts.

I used to own this 28-2

Sure looked factory to me.

"...used to own..." The saddest words you can read on a gun board...

Sorry for the lousy photo. Here's a pair of consec serialed 29-2's with factory yellow inserts.



Yellow or white FACTORY inserts ARE rare.

Mine is custom all the way, but I like the yellow insert best of all color options.

Green ramp insert 66-2

Purchased a 66-2 at a gun show awhile back w/ no box . It has a green insert on front site. Don't guess anyone would have any insight as to any agency that may have ordered ?
Had a notion to sell recently but after slapping myself changed my mind ;-)
Thanks

Generally, the Special Order number (four digits) is the ship date in a Julian date format.
