Frequently Asked Questions

What guns does this narrow front sight fit?

The .312" bead with 1/16" narrow blade is a universal dimension used on many shotguns, rifles, and other firearms with dovetail or standard sight bases. Verify your gun's sight mounting type before purchase to ensure compatibility.

Is this sight adjustable?

This is a fixed front sight; elevation and windage are not adjustable on the sight itself. Adjustment is made through dovetail positioning at installation or through a matching rear sight.

What's the advantage of a narrow blade over a wider bead?

A 1/16" narrow profile minimizes the amount of target area blocked by the sight post, giving you a clearer, less obstructed view of your target—especially useful for precision shooting or hunting in brush where every bit of visibility counts.

Will this work for hunting and sport shooting?

Yes. The brass bead and narrow blade are versatile enough for upland hunting, clay shooting, rifle use, and general range work. The visible bead catches light in varying conditions, making it reliable in both bright sunlight and lower light.
