Does anyone know where I can get a screw in sight for this barrel? Preferably a Patridge sight. Thanks.

I'm no expert (well, I am an Internet Expert(tm)), but I think it'd help if we knew what gun your threaded hole is attached to. Failing that, maybe tell us what size screw threads into it?

It's on a S&W 27-2 with a 10 inch custom aftermarket barrel.

OK, do you know who made the barrel? Maybe they'd know. Or, sneak the gun into a hardware store's fastener aisle and try random screws until one fits. (I absolutely did not suggest that.)

If you have a set of thread gauges (sorry if I have the wrong term) to see what the thread pitch is that would help.
This will keep you from issues at the hardware store
I would expect it to be a bead unless you're going to time it yourself to sit correctly.

Do you know where there are ANY screw-in sights for sale no matter the thread size? It had a round orange sight on it, looked exactly like a shotgun sight. It did it no justice.

I searched "screw-in front sight" (or "screw-on") at midwayusa, brownells and gunpartscorp and got several hits... mostly backordered, unfortunately. In the meantime, as a temporary measure, you could buy a machine screw and set to with a file and a dab of black paint.

It probably WAS a shotgun sight. If you want a Patridge it will most likely require that a slot and pin hole, or a dovetail be cut in the base to accept a sight.

But you'll need to know the thread pitch

I ordered two brass bead shotgun sights in two different thread pitches. surely one will fit.

https://fermincgarza.com/shop/ols/categories/sights Custom sight? Use a screw to hold sight on. Drill/tap a hole back more, in the base?
