No!!! Meprolight uses a very hard metal ( why I don't know it's just a sight ) broke 3 drills drilling it I know how to drill , I'm a machinist by trade it's possible I got a bad batch of drills but none the less it's way too hard of a metal they could have used a aircraft aluminum and would have been just as good so to your answer no its not drilled .

Hi Jason, no its not, and its a Bitch. You must be very careful doing it. The metal of the Mepro is much harder than expected. I bought a new bit, and still buggered it up. If you want a clean install, and are not real handy have it done.The Best, Jim

No!! I used carbide drill bits to drill the hole for the retaining pin. The sight also had to be filed on the sides evenly to slip down into the open sight to fit flush with the barrel. The whole procedure took about an hour. If I had known this from the beginning, I would have tried to find an gunsmith to install. I also had to expose the sight to direct sunlight to activate the crystal. Works great now, but make sure the sight is aligned & flush before drilling the hole & putting the retainer in.

No it was not...it was a bit of a pain to get it in...I remember having to sand/file the sides of the sight to get it to fit.

I am not sure. Mine was put on by the gunsmith here at the police department where I work. I did but the wrong one at first. There are 2 kinds- with and without drilled mounting holes.

Sight fits into the factory slot and tightens with included screw. Use some loctite and let dry for 24hr before shooting.

already pre-drilled. I was replacing the unit but used the old hot cold dispenser. I believe the direction say or investigate on internet.

Not necessarily but you probably won't know until after the install to see how it shoots. I put this one on because the original front sight post was too high and this fixed the problem.

Yes, it will come with the mounting brackets that will mount to the extra screw holes on your sight.

Yes . I installed it on mine with locktite , I also used the allan screw that was shipped with it ....I believe Ruger owns the maker of this sight & is on some models standard ...

I don't remember them being "pre=drilled" but they come with self tapping screws which are awesome and work well. I did add a few more screws just to be sure it was tight against the wheel well all the way around

I have a Ruger 357 rev. Was pre drilled for an included rail. The rail & scope mounted just fine. Mazel tof

It screws in to existing bead sight hole...however it didn't line up quite right so i had a gunsmith file it down and locktight it in for about $ 20

Yes, completely, if mounted immediately adjacent. Spread out the sight and magnifier on the rail and you'll have fitting issues.

It is a screw in sight post so screw it in with a little bit of loctite on it and you are good to go. Be careful not to break your tritium sight though might wanna use a rag to cushion your tool while tightening.

Yes, the rear sight assembly has the necessary fasteners-the front is best installed using silver solder-you or a gunsmith.

I can find nothing in the installation manual about pre-drilled hole for the bars.

It did come pre-drilled ... faucet set included, but I used my own instead. It's good quality for the price!

Yes, but the rear sight fits a little loose. I had to add a set screw to tighten properly.
