On the S&W 2nd Model Hand Ejectors, the barrels were cut, and custom ramped bases with a dovetailed ramped sight were silver soldered on. The sights WERE made slightly higher, so that I could file them down to give a perfect alignment at 25 yards, then cold blued on the cut area. I am able to wind drift for left and right, but both guns were aligned perfectly by the gunsmith, and I have yet to move them. The guns were patterned after the revolver used in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (there were two; this is the British Bapty Armoury variation). The sight appears high, but it is eactly the same height, with base, as the old "half moon" sight that was on the original barrel. The rear notch was opened up to give a better, square sight picture.
