FO on 452 front blade?
« on: April 30, 2012, 10:22:11 AM »
Anybody ever try to gently drill out a hole in the front blade of a 452 or a 527 to put  a fo rod in there? Or is there an after market fo front sight for it/them?

Ask the Williams Gun Sight Company? www.williamsgunsight.com

I suspect that you will have to locate a fibre-optic foresight holder with a foot that can be filed down to fit a CZ foresight base groove.

Best of luck. Sounds like an interesting project, especially with replacement packs of fibre-optic elements becoming more common.
A good shot at close range beats a 'hit' at a longer range.

Maybe Recknagel?

They seem to be the leaders in fancy open sights.
