New Sights

Post by ol'pole » Fri Mar 26, 2021 4:58 pm

I was having trouble seeing/focusing on the brass bead so I bought some new Marble's sights, front fiber optic and the bullseye. Installed the front sight, I bought the Wyoming sight drifter to do it, this thing works GREAT!! Went to the range to see how they (are and adjust if necessary) I must have done something right :D the new sights are fantastic, easy to see with my old eyes. Here are some pics,
Happy with the results :D :D

New sight looks good. Target looks good also. Nice going.

The Wyoming Sight Drifter looks like a great alternative to a hammer and punch.

8-) The sight drifter works better than a hammer & punch, no vice needed just hold it on the sight base pull the knocker & let go, easy!
