| Does anyone know if anyone makes a ghost ring A2 aperture |
|
Well, the 0-2 apertureon an A2 rear sight is basically a ghost ring. If you've BZO'd using the small aperture for a 25/300m zero and flip to the 0-2, you're good for 0-200m.
XS Sights also makes a "same plane" aperture wherein the small and large apertures are on the same sighting plane. |

i like to use the small aperture. i found a dpms ashley ghost ring. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=610584 i was thinking about lightly touching it with the drimmel and c what happens Thats basically the same thing as a standard A2 aperture. You should already have a small aperture, and a ghost ring marked "0-2" underneath it. |

If you like to use the small aperture, why are you asking about getting a ghost ring aperture? Just to be clear, the A2 rear sight does have both. If you push forward and down on the small aperure, the sight will rotate and you'll have the bigger 0-2 ghost ring style aperture. |

i want a small aperture that has a ghost ring ( silver around the edge ) how is that confusing you. i know that it has two aperture duh lol OK so basically you aren't aware of what a ghost ring sight is...? Ghost ring sights are large circular aperture sights. The large aperture on your rifle IS a ghost ring sight. 
A) U-notch and post, B) Patridge, C) V-notch and post, D) express, E) U-notch and bead, F) V-notch and bead, G) trapezoid, H) en:ghost ring. The gray dot represents the target. I guess what you're looking for is a small aperture with some silver metallic paint on it? A small aperture like you linked and like is found on the rifle is a "peep" sight. ETA: A few Google Image results for "Ghost Ring": 
So, again, your rifle already has a "Ghost ring" sight. I suggest you simply get some silver paint and a small brush, degrease the rear sight, paint the edge silver like you want it, let the paint dry, and the lightly oil it to prevent rust. |

A ghost ring, for the purposes of firearms discussion, is a big large rear aperture. These are typically found on shotguns, some aftermarket pistol sights, etc. The 0-2 aperture meets the text book definition of a ghost ring. Hence the confusion over what you want. I am not aware of any ghost ring or small aperture sights that have a painted ring around them. It really shouldn't be necessary. |

Der_Hans has explained what a Ghost Ring rear sight is- basically a larger aperture ring that "ghosts" out as you focus on the front sight. The 0-2 aperture on an A2 rear sight is for all intents and purposes a Ghost Ring. XS sells them for the AR and all sorts of other rifles and shotguns. Some people even make them for pistols.
Unfortuantely, I have no idea what to call what you've described, have never heard of it, seen it, or understand why you would want it. But, I wish you everlasting luck in your quest.

The way I understand it, he doesn't want a ghost ring, he wants a long range / small aperture with the edges painted silver. |
| yea i want a long range aperture with the edges silver. I thought for years thats what a ghost ring was, i guess i was absent minded for awhile since ive had peep sights on my ak and others and they where never referred to as ghost rings. but like i said before i guess i can just take the drimmel with a cone shaped tip and barely touch it |
