From Brownells

962000016
70031 RIFLE FIRE SIGHT HOOD 1 1 0 0 0 $7.95 ORDER SHIPPED
962020097
1690 STREAMLINED SCREW-ON RAMP 3/16" 1 1 0 0 0 $18.50 ORDER SHIPPED
962564360
56436 .375N RED RIFLE FIRE SIGHT 1 1 0 0 0 $13.60 ORDER SHIPPED

The front sight (on top of the ramp) was the .375 height. I changed the red fiber to green (it is .060 dia), I see it better in dim light

I do wish it was smaller diameter, My old Remington is .030

Works best using a sight press to put the sight into the dovetail. My punches did not alow the ramp to survive

I think I got too short of a fiber optic cuz I had to do quite a bit of filing and adjusting to get the peep and bolt to work together on my knight disc. If you want pm me and I can look up what size fiber optic I pit on it .

Post by: kerrdog on November 30, 2013, 12:56:15 PM: I bought a front site ramp and hood. The install was too hard for me. :dunno: one screw is longer than the other on the ramp, and I mixed them up. Duh. Then when trying to beat the sight onto the ramp, the ramp came off, and the screws were now trapped under sight. :yike: So I put the factory front sight on. Works good. :chuckle:
