2240 Steel breach and Ruger Mk2 target sight?

[N6CRV]

Hello, was going to order some things from Crosman tomorrow. I'm thinking that the steal breach was cheaper if you get it as a part. My question is will a target sight off of a Ruger MK2 fit the breach? I can't find anywhere that will tell me the cutout for either sight. Was hoping someone might have tried it. I have a extra MK2 sight and if it would work I think I will order the breach for the 2240.
Thanks for the help!!

The sight base of my 22/45 is 0.550" at it's widest point.
I can't get my calipers into the dovetail of my 2400kt with the scope rings on it, but I have a new steel breech for my 1322 on it's way from Crosman. If it shows up before anyone else posts, I'll measure it and update you.

Thank-you, it does not look like it will work. When I asked Crosman they said the Ruger used a larger dovetail. I thought it looked large but was hoping it would of fit. If it did would of made a nice sight as you can get them as pulls for only $15.00. It worked good on my Ruger MKII. Hope you got your breech from the parts dept as they are cheaper that way and only $4.00 shipping for all you want. Have a good week and keep shooting.

I did get it from the parts dept., but thanks for the tip. I didn't know they were cheaper that way.

What do you mean "pulls" and where are you getting these pulls for $15? For that price I may buy one and try to mill it down.

I hope this link works I have nothing to gain by sending it.

Awesome! Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you.

Sure, they do have nice sights for the price. If you want to see what they look like just look for a Ruger MKII Target. They also fit on the MKIII

  I put the  Mark II sight on my 2240 steel breech without much trouble.  I just enlarged the dovetail on the breech a little with a 3 corner file .  You have to be careful not to file deeper only elongate the corners to fit.  A dovetail file with a smooth bottom works better if you have or can borrow one though.

Thanks for the info. Now I might have to place another order. Did you have any trouble with the front site being to low? On my MKII I did have to make a new front site that was taller. As mine is the standard with the  4 3/4 barrel

  The stock sight is a bit low . I use a muzzle brake with a brass pin sight or a TKO with a small ramp attached with a screw.  At first I just cut off the blade of the stock plastic sight, sanded the base smooth, and then drilled a 3/32' hole in it to glue in a 3/32' piece of brass rod. Start wit it higher than you need and file it down till it works.   Hope this helps.
