How to Tell Which Sights ON this Revolver Ruger

I have a new model blackhawk in .357 mag. according to serial number produced around 1979. It is in impeccable shape. I picked it up a couple weeks ago. Only problem was the previous owner had put a scope on and took off rear sights. I called Ruger to order the rear sight and one of the questions they asked was if the recess in the rear sight channel had a bump in it. Well the only way i could describe it was that it looked like the shape of a bobsled. But near the screw it did have a little raise, but had to look at it to detect it. She said if it was the one with the bump it would be pronounced to where you would know. Can you tell me which I have according to model and serial and better describe this to me so when I call back tomorrow to order, I get the right one. Thanks

Just order them both from Brownells and send back the one that dowsn't fit. They are only eleven bucks and some change each. #43 on the schematic.

I know we arent supposed to tell people to go to other forums but i think this calls for more people knowledgeble about blackhawks. go to the forums over at www.sixgunner.com and ask them. i am sure someone will know whats going on
