Raff, Sights are standard Ruger plus an all steel Weaver K1.5 Microtrack. The front sight band needed to be lathe bored ,and when it was getting too thin, it occurred to me to mount the band 1/2 on the barrel and 1/2 on the muzzle brake. I turned the brake to the correct diameter and left a shoulder for the band to butt against, so it can't move from recoil. Worked out nicely...and moderates the "look" of the brake. Also, was able to use the banded swivel stud Ruger makes for the 458. I cut a 1B forend just aft of the swivel stud and installed an ebony tip...makes a long forend, but the rifle barrel/brake is 30" so the long forend looks right.

Be happy to post a picture, if someone would explain how!
