If you are talking about the rear sight off the plastic breech then no its not a direct fit... you will have to do a lil dremel work on it to fit it to the steel breech...

And you have to shorten the screw too I think. It interferes with the hammer spring otherwise.

screw for a std plastic breech is a 8-32x7/8 which is the size you'd use for the breech in the link
if you fit a std dovetail breech you need a 8-32x3/4 if your in the uk get a rebolt kit from gary lindop aka droid in the us i'd speak to davio
