Raised Front Sight

[Coal Creek Griff]

Well, it's ugly, but it works.

I wanted to lower the point of impact with my Armi Sport Spencer (56-50), but wanted to avoid permanent alterations for now.  I used JB Weld to adhere a small piece of brass brazing rod to the top of the sight.  I had flattened the bottom of the rod for a better surface and to make sure it wasn’t too high.  It looks pretty bad in the photo, but you don’t really notice unless you look closely and now the gun shoots right to point of aim with my current loads.  So far it has held up just fine, but if it falls off someday, it sure didn’t cost much.

I did the same thing on my 58 cal Remington rolling block. The original front sight was badly worn. A little brass and JB weld gave me a functional front sight. It has held up for several hundred rounds so far.
