Does anyone know if there is a drop in night sights for a Gold Cup setup?

If memory serves me right, the Elliason's blade is pretty thin, so I do not see how someone could have replaced it with another one, capable of accepting tritium tubes. As for complete sight replacement, I've never heard of one, which fit that cut.

Yes, there may be more but Millett makes one. here is a link to them.

The front sight sight on a Gold Cup is staked on, so that will be a restake to change, but still within what can be done reasonably easy.

Joni Lynn has it right.
I switched my circa '75 Series 70 Gold Cup's Elliason rear sight for a Millet white outline unit in 1976, and it's been there ever since.
And don't forget to replace that nasty rear sight roll pin for a solid piece of drill rod!

Do you still have the Elliason sight? I'd consider buying it if you did.

If he doesn't, I've got one here I just pulled off a Series 80 Gold Cup.

If you'd care to PM me with the specifics on what you would like from it, I'd appreciate it.

BoMar makes a night sight that fits into the Gold Cup cut outs.
It's about 100.00 from Brownells # 135-000-001

Thanks, I've seen that but wasn't certain how it would look on the gun. I'd be interested in the Elliason you removed.
