I am once again needing of your expertise, gentlemen, see, I have a couple of break barrels that don't have a rear sight, and the scopes I mount, no matter how tight ,keep on moving ,so I want to shoot them with open sights only, has any of you made a rear sight for any of your rifles? Or know of any that you can buy that doesn't cost as much as the rifle itself?thank you guys for reading ..I appreciate it. ?

You might take a look at the “Industry” brand rear sights from Archer.

Mostly steel, click adjustable, and they clamp onto your scope-grooves. I’ve used them on a number of project-guns.

Reasonably priced too

the Archer sight is a good one but we have some unknowns on what you have and you have some unknowns if that sight will work with your front sight at all

as most are setup on the barrel moving it back to the scope area could be a challenge in the elevation adjustment, a diopter sight could also work but they will cost in the 80 to 100.00 and more

so that's all I have with the info you have given

Thank you guys, I appreciate your answers,the rifles are a shanghai b-1 and a Ruger Explorer,  I looked at the rear sights from Archer and they seem like they would work.. Once again ,thank you for the responses .

Does your rifle receiver have a shallow hole for a stop pin from scope rings? If it does that will stop the scope from shifting. If there is no shallow hole, a one piece ring with 4 clamping screws should work. If you still have your heart set on iron sights then buy a Williams peep sight. It's money well spent.
