Williams Gun Sight Shorty Ramp Black .375''

The Williams Gun Sight Shorty Ramp in black is a compact front sight solution for shooters who want a streamlined, classic aiming point without the bulk of a hooded ramp. This .375" ramp slides into dovetail cuts or mounts directly to your barrel, making it a practical choice for hunters, sport shooters, and gunsmiths looking to upgrade or replace an existing sight. Built from polished, blued steel, it delivers the durability and clean appearance Williams Gun Sight has been known for since the 1920s.

The "Shorty" profile keeps your sight picture uncluttered while maintaining the ramp geometry that helps catch light and define your front sight post. Without a hood, you get unobstructed views of your target and surrounding terrain—ideal for hunting rifles or any gun where a compact, no-fuss sight makes sense. The blued finish resists rust and wears well through regular use.

Mounting options give you flexibility: sweat-on (solder), screw-on, or use an optional Dovetail Filler Block if you're retrofitting to an existing dovetail cut. That versatility makes the Shorty Ramp a smart choice whether you're building a rifle from scratch, replacing a worn sight, or experimenting with different sight configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this ramp fit my existing dovetail cut?

Yes. The Shorty Ramp can be mounted to an existing dovetail using an optional Dovetail Filler Block, or you can choose sweat-on or screw-on methods depending on your rifle and preference.

What's the difference between a hooded and hoodless ramp?

This ramp has no hood, meaning your front sight is fully exposed. That gives you a cleaner sight picture and unobstructed view of your target, though a hood does offer some protection to the sight post. Hoodless ramps suit hunters who prioritize simplicity and clear views.

What finish does it have?

The Shorty Ramp is polished, blued steel—a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that darkens over time with use and wear. It's a classic Williams Gun Sight look that's proven itself on field rifles.

Is this a complete front sight setup?

This is the ramp itself. Depending on your rifle and how you plan to mount it, you may need additional components like the optional Dovetail Filler Block or soldering equipment for a sweat-on installation.
