So I did it again.  A 158.  Looks good, nice finish, Receiver hasn't been cleaned in awhile but the bore is clear.  Not to dinged up either.  Yes, I know all about 12 steps.

Yeah, the next step is to buy another handi.  Nice score.

OMG... ran out fo scope mounts..!!!  So I put on a Handi WGRS rear.  It don't fit..!  The barrel radius is smaller than the sight base, leaves gaps at the sides.

Any one else had this problem?  Did you shim the sides of the sight base?   

OR... is there a 'different' WGRS for the 158 smaller diameter barrel?  Any other 158 peep sights out there?

Why can't anything be simple?

Handi, the Simple rifle!
just never works out that way, but it's all part of the fun.
I am having fun waiting on brass for my 500. Cant get factory ammo anywhere here at the moment.
I even had one less well informed counter bunny tell me the S&W 500 was illegal here.
Oh well back to having fun.

Simply "bed" the site to the barrel.

Coat the base, the barrel and screws with release agent. Then use something like liquid steel, acura glass JB weld etc. Either trim before completely set OR build a tape damn and remove once hardened.

BTW, in case you haven't realized, you also need a different base for these barrels. ;)  Hole spacing is the same but contour is different for the smaller diam barrel. To make matters worse, its a discontinued base too.  :o

This is the base you need:
