ideas on replacing leaf sight for flip down style/more
Posted: 21 Jun 2018 06:11
Hey guys -
I'm wanting to swap out the stock iron sights on my 16" .357 Rossi 92 for something a little more helpful for snap shooting, as well as deliberate/focused target shooting.
To that end I had thought following the usual practice along the lines of replacing the rear sliding leaf with a flip down rear sight, and later on getting a tang peep sight for the fine-tuned aimed shots.
Then, I asked myself - should I even bother with the tang sight on such a short-barreled carbine? I like how that setup would look, with a folding tang and flip-down up front. I don't know, maybe I just want some reassurance that the tang site on a short barreled carbine is not a waste of time/money. I'm never putting a scope on the gun, it is purely a fun/functional shooter to take to the range and for HD. I won't be putting a laser on it either, just keep it old-school.
I did read a few bad reviews of Marble's #95 folding rear sight, in terms of durability. Apparently the adjuster screw breaks pretty easily. However, same can be said of the original or older generation folding sights too.
Things to wonder about while my rotator cuff is healing! It's a worthwhile distraction to focus on my gun hobby, I think.
