tru glo globe front sight and rear ghost ring

[Mr Mykiss]

We were debating which direction to mount the rear sight... I'm guessing it's screws to the right as you look down the barrel... I'm really new at this.

the taller end goes forward with the slant towards the butt of the rifle.

Ya that looks better to me, Page 5 on this section has a pic of the williams version I like. The last pic of the tru glow is that with the front hood Off?
   The front hood is not removable on mine. Mark

im mounting up this tru glow globe and have a few questions..  seems like i want the rear site mounted infront of the breach same place as the stock dovetail is that right?  Also the front sites radius seems to be a little bigger than the barrel on my bighorn so there is a small gap between the site and barrel that dont seem right!! Do I have to shim this thing I dont like the idea of shims any suggetions thanks for any help!!   Happy fathers day to all dads!!!!!!!!!

yes you want the back sight were the stock sight was. i think the kit came with a little black shim in the package for that reason i have not had to use it but if memory serves right the kit came with some just incase it did not fit tight.

I think those shims are for a dovetail applacation Ill figure something out got a friend how can machine it for me was hoping i didnt have to do that but i do want a solid fit   

[carpsniperg2]

yeah play with it a little but they are bad ass for sure i love those sites my group size shark about 50% on both guns when i put these sights on them i put mine on my elkhorn and t/c blackdiamond xr and they went right on no prob i have a friend that has a bighorn and i never heard of him having to mess with it but get it tight and you will be very happy

Yes you need a solid fit to the barrel, if you shim it make sure the shim is made of Solid material that wont shrink in cold weather or expand in heat. After machining coat the open alloy with a clear sealer or some other type of thin coating to keep it from oxidizing as moisture will get under it.

thanks whitelightning  I actually found a dowel a bit smaller than my barrel and sanded it with some 600 wet paper and got it to fit like a glove I put  bore butter under the site when I mounted it. clear laquir of somesort sounds like the way to go ..Mabe finger nail polish ...What do you think?  thanks again this site is sweet    so helpful with questions!!!!!!!!

I would remove the bore butter and apply like you said clear nail polish or even a good coating of wax. Just need something to keep out the moisture. The dowel trick works real good to reshape sites.

finger nail polish it is!!  I wish I lived in an area where I could pull off a few shots from the front porch!! I bet my neighbors around lake meridian would love that!!    Oh well Ill get out this week sometime hopefuly.
