My eyes continue to go bad, and I cannot shoot post sights very well for more than 40-50 rounds. I can shoot aperture front sights for about twice that, before my eyes get tired. So, I am thinking of making a windage adjustable A2 FSB using a Lyman Globe Front Target Sight #17. KNS offers aperture type front sight inserts; I am looking for something along the lines of a target type aperture FSB.
Before I get too involved with this, is one available already? Here is an example of the Lyman sight. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=817066&t=11082005

I don't know if they're windage adjustable, but any HP shop that caters to match rifles will have front sights with various inserts available.
These attach to the barrel, not a std FSB. They are also a bit delicate, so definitely not for use on a gun that won't be babied. They are elevation adjustable, but again, I don't think they're windage adjustable. But you to be able to take care of the windage with the rear sight. Sinclair's Tubb Creedmore Just google "High Power" and go from there. |

Thanks, Jmart.
I know of these sights, and I should mentioned it. I have been fortunate enough to shoot several match rifles with these, and talk about easy to hit the target!, even for me....off a rest. I am not much in shooting from HP positions; as a matter of fact, I am downright lousy at it...all 8s, 9s, and a few 10s. Where the heck did the "X" go?!?!? I have this wild hair to have a four setscrew, windage adjustable, aperture, A2 FSB on my next build: SPR or SDM Match, 1:8 poly. |
