These should be standard on every one of those things.
I already have a 5.56 bolt action at the FFL for pickup, but now I want one of these

Font sight appears to be tall enough to use with suppressor? Can anyone confirm?

I would say yes. Looks like lots of cans are around 1.5".
The tip of the front sight post is at 1.388" from centerline of the bore as shown with my zero. That times 2 equals 2.776 So the can would have to be well over 2.00" in diameter to obscure your sight picture. |

Very cool! In your experience/testing, how well does the front sight hold up to field use? Is there any way to get it permanently affixed?
Thanks! |

As manufactured there are 3 attachment points.
The 10/32 clamping screw and two 10/32 set screws the come down from the top. When all three are tightened down properly you would probably bend one of the ears before the sight would rotate. You should also gently tap the base back onto the barrel's taper when installing it. This will act as a wedge. However, there are several ways to make it "more" secure. 1. coat the inside of the sight base with red loctite or epoxy 2. dimple the top of the barrel for the set screws like an AR gas block 3. drill and cross pin the base to the barrel once you have gotten your FSB timed and sights zeroed |

From what I've seen online, the 7.62x39 and 300 Blackout have the same step-up right before the thread protector.
While the 6.5G seems to have an uninterrupted taper. But the Ruger website looks like they did a copypasta on some of the pics so I have gleaned this info from other pics. We will be getting a loaner 7.62x39 from a customer when the time comes.  |

My set arrived yesterday, installed today. Love it.
Waiting somewhat patiently for the 300 Blackout front....OD measures .732". If there is any taper - it is in the tenths, I'd call it straight approximately 1 3/8" (my muzzle device overhangs back over the thread shoulder a bit). |

I'm tempted to get a 350 Legend. There is a ton of ammo local to me at a LGS, and the price is reasonable compared to 5.56 (seriously wtf lol)
I'm keeping these sights in mind if I get one. Looks like a really handy/lightweight Thumper. |

This is the problem with trying to make a "no gunsmithing" front sight.

The rear unit will only fit the short actions.
The front sight is dependent on the barrel diameter. The NDS-56 is for a barrel taper that measures between .675"-.687". It may go on a different barrel, but not be in the preferred location. A good gunsmith could cut/turn a barrel to fit in a half hour. |

Are you eventually going to release this for the .308/ 6.5 Creedmore rifles? Eventually means in a year or two. It'll probably be that long before l pick one up unless l run across something with a "buy-me-now!" price.

If we did it would be a ways off for sure.
The long action will require a new rear unit. The front sights might work, but it's dependent on barrel diameter. |

Thanks Mike. Like l said eventually.
I'll be retiring in about 3 years to a state that very definitely isn't black rifle friendly but hunting is still okay. I have several .30-06s but want a compact. 308 especially if l can get open sights. Your product is perfect, if only...  Definitely put me down for a set in 2 or 3 years though. |

UPDATE:
This week we finally got the new front sights off the mill. It will take a few weeks to get them processed through anodizing. They are a bit different in the clamping arrangement with a split ring on the bottom with two 10-32 screws. There are still the two set screws that come down from the top. We're probably going to include both nylon tipped and point set screws to allow the customer some options.   We have made 2 diameters, a .750" version and a .730" version. This should cover a few of the other calibers based on my crowd-sourced info. You will need to get a good measurement of your barrel before you order. |

Finally got all the parts back and assembled.
This is an early gun with the stepped barrel (.730" to .750" flare) so the front sight telescopes over the attached flash hider. Worked really well. NDS-58 front sight (.750" dia) and NDS-60 flash hider mounted on a 7.62x39 RAR.

Check into the Keltec SU16 rear sight. I bet that would work.  I'd go with Nodak all the way though. Adjustments on the Keltec are nowhere as nice as the A1 style.The UTG one is ok for what it is. I really wish you guys made a Picatinny Rear (I was looking for one to put on ak AK with railed cover). The only real quality option is from LPA and those are almost $120 Or even an adapter plate that would convert the 10/22 rear sight to a low picatinny base. |

On the 5.56 gun the top of the front sight post was 1.394" from centerline of the bore to get a 2" high zero at 100 yards.
The 7.62x39 was similar. If you use something else  you will need the aperture to be in that ball park to work. Although our front sight has a huge range of adjustment. I have a new webpage up for these products. https://www.nodakspud.com/Ranch%20Sights.htm |

I do like the tech sights on my 10/22, however the American Rimfire I'm looking at does not have a front sight (mdl 8334). Looks like the barrel diameter is .72" (from online reports). Will this work with NDS-59 front sight?

Maybe, the problems are height of the rear, and barrel diameter.
You may have to shim the front to get a good fit far enough forward. Of course you could slide it back against the taper but that might look awkward. |
