New replacement rear sight?

Hog KillerNew replacement rear sight?
Has anybody replaced the rear sights (all leaves fold down) on Ped. Kodiak? This is one of my main complaints of this DR. Want a single standing express and one or two folding leaves.
Also, thinking about reaming to 45-120 3 1/4". As the rim thickness is same as 45-&*
Thanks,
Keith

Charles_HelmHave you ruled out TIG welding a leaf up? It would seem to be the simplest approach if practical.
Edit: I think we had this discussion before but do not remember if you were concerned about the heat. I know I have talked to others about it who thought it could be done.

Hog KillerCharles, yes it could be TIGed up, but it would never be a strong as a proper standing sight. As they are much heavier in construction.
One option though untradtional, would be to make a new blank for the rear and install an XS ghost ring peep. Making do with a single rear sight.

bobcNew England Custom gun has single standing and standing/folding sights in traditional dove tail. I've used a single standing on my 35 Whelan. Bob
