Front/rear sight combos

Post by Chuck40 »

I am likely going to grab a new production/standing setup for this season, and don't know who sells good front/rear sight combos anymore.
Is Ken Light still in business? Who else is out there?

If I remember correctly (debatable!), they don’t offer the Bomar type sight. I think they started offering the ribs with a Williams sight. Also, I don’t think he has a lot of what is advertised on the website. Kind of hit or miss.

Yep. But Brian Crawford engineering did all the Manufacturing for Ken Light later on. They used to come with Kensights, But they screwed up Ken Lights design and I think he switched to williams sights.

Chuck-
Is your standing gun going to be with peep sights or conventional blade & post? In 22, I shoot conventional open sights for P but peep sights for standing. In BB, a lot of people are shooting 300 blackout for standing with peeps, but production is a mix of open sights and peeps. Shooting peeps from a flop position takes a bit of practice, and (my 2 cents) a fairly flat belly :))
