Bearcat with the 6" barrel? How hard would it be to get adjustable sights added?
I love the look of that gun

I had to do a quick search and see that it is a Lipsey special.
I do not see why Gary could not put on an adjustable sight. In fact I do believe he could rechamber it to 22 WRM( I could be wrong)
22 mag conversion is no problem. We can also

convert it to the 32 H&R or the 250 GNR which requires a conversion from rimfire to center fire. The fixed sight Bearcat could be converted to a semi adjustable sighted gun. We build a sight that we embed in the rear of the frame. It is adjustable for left to right but not up and down. A picture of that conversion is shown below.The gun is in the white and needed bluing after we installed the adjustable sight.There is also some pics of a S&W where you can see the sight better.

the S&W we will have to use a little touch up bluing, unless the customer wants the entire gun reblued. but $200 with the touch up blue.
Thanks!

the factory? I'd think adding adjustable sights would require a reblue anyway. Just buying the AS version like Asa showed would be much easier. They are both neat guns...
I'd bet easier to get an adjustable sights model and rebarre
