Williams sights
« on: May 05, 2020, 04:16:36 PM »
Trying to convert to Williams peep sights for my knight bighorn I was able to order everything according to older posts by sabotloaded however I can not get the hoodless ramp part #1690 been on backorder since December when I orders everything from midway nobody has it available including Williams themselves curious of other options that might be suggested to match up with my rear sight which is the FP Legend May just leave original front sight on and try it just thought I would see if there were any suggestions thank you

In the past I have  used the factory front sight and had no issues.

My Bighorn performed just dandy with the rear Williams and stock front site.

I abandoned all hope on them. I never could get a correct height sight and gave up and went back to the factory sights. I have a Williams if someone wants one

I ordered directly from Williams in February, and got that part.  That's strange.  (I have heard that they are hard to deal with, but I called and got everything that I needed.)

Which Williams sight do you have that you might want to move?

I think I have the same parts on back order at Brownells. I noticed the Williams website is closed for ordering. Since they are in Michigan I'll bet their closure was extended & it might be awhile before we get our parts.

I purchased a William's peep sight after reading a few posts by Sabotloader and can say it changed my life.  The stock rear sight on my Bighorn was so finicky and difficult to do fine adjustment with, I nearly threw it in the garbage.  I'm using the stock front sight and it seems to work just great.

The ones I’ve seen say they do not fit Knight. I do like the look of their inserts better than the Lee shavers, I wonder if they fit the Lyman globe

I just put one on my Optima and it’s pretty sweet. I do think I’ll probably have issues in low light but since I hunt only elk with muzzleloader, bright blonde should give contrast to the crosshairs.

I want to see if I can get one for my TC Encore.
