“Tactical” rail for the Rossi
Here’s my latest experiment. A rail to put a red dot on an old Rossi.44 Trapper.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
What I did not expect is a rear sight.

Interesting...I'd like to see what that looks like mounted on the Rossi.
Where did you get that?

I found it online. I’ll post photos from mounting it.

Took the rear sight out and replaced it with this dovetail.

The rail mounts with a screw on the side of the receiver.

That's a very tidy rail. It looks good. Not out of place.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
I like that, and even though I've never really had a scope 'fail' it is still cool to have a backup sight...

Great system, got one mounted on a .44.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
I think this works but it won’t fit a saddle scabbard.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
I looked at those but decided to pick up a rail from skinners. It came today and works great

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
I think I am going to cut off the excess rail in front of the dovetail screw. It serves no purpose and just allows an opportunity to have something get out of whack.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
Showed this to my wife and she thought it was a good idea.
So my question is, what non-battery sight would be good to use on my my 94Trapper .45 for home defense at night?

I don't know Joe, I use a shotgun for such purposes.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
Joe, you could use an eotech rmr with tritium.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
Scott's shotgun would be a far more affordable way to go. Those eotech rmr with tritium type sights are way out of my budget.

Re: “Tactical” rail for the Rossi
I set a rifle against a tree to pee and a drop of water fell out of the tree onto the lens and somehow got into the scope. Fogged instantly. Had a backup peep and got a deer that morning. Leupold replaced the scope.
Kind regards,

Now it’s even more “tactical!” Hacksaw gunsmithing.
