The Lyman .494" Target Front Sight 17 Ami is a precision front sight designed for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability at the range or in the field. Built from solid steel and finished in black, this sight pairs seamlessly with Lyman receiver sights to create a complete iron sight system. Whether you're zeroing a rifle, practicing precision marksmanship, or hunting where iron sights are your primary aiming tool, a quality target front sight makes all the difference in repeatability and shot placement.
What sets this Lyman sight apart is its versatility. It ships with eight interchangeable inserts—each locked securely in place with a threaded cap—so you can dial in the exact sight picture that works best for your shooting style and distance. The inserts give you options without requiring multiple sights, which means less fumbling at the bench and more time on target. The solid steel construction means this sight will hold zero through seasons of use.
Installation is straightforward on any rifle featuring a 3/8" dovetail slot. The machined fit is tight and repeatable, and once you're zeroed, you can trust it to stay put. Lyman has been making iron sights for generations, and this 17 Ami design reflects that heritage of no-nonsense, dependable accuracy.
