Hey guys,
What is everyone using for sight black? I was going to try one of the Birchwood Casey super flat black pens. Thoughts? Thanks! |

used to use the sight black "bic" lighters anyone know where to get them by the way, I can't seem to find them....... I like more of a "soot" than the sprays carbide sooter |

As you know, but other may not. the carbide smokers will rust a gun if not removed. the birchwood casy product does not rust a firearm. |

Quoted: Quoted: not as black as you can get. Sight black is used in CMP type shooting. Also kills the glare you get.... Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Interesting. Can you explain to me how it changes the sight picture? I'm honestly 100% curious as I have a Birchwood Casey "super black" paint pen and if it will improve my sight picture I'll definitely try it. |
| Well, for me, I do CMP/ NRA high power shooting and notice a glare off of my front sight. I do a 6 o clock hold and as my front sight is coming up on target, it cuts off part of the black center. I end up shooting low due to the glare off of the front sight imparing my vision of the center of the target. |

I'm honestly 100% curious as I have a Birchwood Casey "super black" paint pen and if it will improve my sight picture I'll definitely try it. there is always a tiny bit of glare you get off the tip of the front sight - either from finish wearing off or just because it's not 100% black the sight black fixes that - I tend to shoot high if the tip has a bit of glare because it looks like I'm holding lower than I am (more "white" space between the front sight and target) and, glare is just annoying when the sun is at your back when you're shooting - helps there also....

I like more of a "soot" than the sprays carbide sooter  I know a few "old timers" that still use an old metal 35mm film canister with a small hole poked in the top of it. Dump a few rocks in the canister, spit in it, light it, and you're off to the races....  |
