Wondering where I can find a narrower front sight post for my Bushmaster A3. Does anyone make various widths so you can try to match the front sight width to the width of the black on the target when shooting HP?
thanks, david |
| Yes, thank you for the reply. Their National Match sight post is 0.050", the same as the one on my rifle. I see Brownell's has a "pack" of sight posts from KNS PRECISION, INC. that includes a sight post with a small top (square) but I don't know if it would pass muster for a DCM leg match... |

Hmm..
BM lists .052" and .062", RRA lists .050", if you want something other you could contact CLE. You might get more info. here http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=9&f=14 Standard BM is .068" |
| You can also chuck it up (the threaded portion) in a drill press and put a fine, flat file on it and turn it down to whatever width you want. I have done that a number of times with good results. But if you are already at .050, its going to get too thin and un-useable pretty quick (at least for my eyes). |

The square front posts with a .050"/.052" width are almost exactly the same width as the bullseye. Now that I'm older I can't focus on that small a post. Older eyes are helped buy using a .060"+/- front post. They are pretty cheap, buy two and see which one works the best for you.
WOA usually has them in stock. |
