But I'm guessing that front sight is not original. Your 27 seems to be somewhat of an enigma. That particular rear sight SHOULD be matched with a cross-dovetailed simple front post. I don't understand the longitudinal dovetails, combined with what appears to be mounting holes for a screw-on front ramp. Is the hole under the front sight threaded? Like I said, I've seen that particular front sight before, and it was on a fairly late model 24 and 35. Your stock profile is similar to an early 80s 27 I used to have, but it had the red rubber "butt-pimple" and no finger grooves. The '59 version I got from Mike has a much more slab-sided butt, and the finger grooves, and mine has a wedge detent and an alloy trigger with two adjustment screws accessible from beneath.
Interesting gun. Tell us more.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
