Sgt Shellback,
There's obviously some confusion here over the ranch rifle and the standard. Both are Ruger Mini-14 but as far as rear sights and scope mounts go, they are different supersonic-launching-platforms.
The M1 carbine rear sight could be cut down, machined, or grinded so the dove-tail mount fits on the ranch rifle.
A lot of work but do-able.
The standard mini has some advantages because there are several replacements available in the Brownell's catalog. The ranch rifle is at a disadvantage in this case. If anyone knows of a match-grade replacement rear sight for the ranch rifle, PLEASE let all of us know.
KC
