Looking to outfit a 455 Lux with Fiber Optics. Need some Advice
« on: February 17, 2016, 09:13:24 PM »
Hello all. I'm looking to put fiber Optic sight blades for front and rear sight blades on a stock 455 Lux. Since the owners manual doesn't reveal their sight manufacturer, Its been a task to find out. Folks on other forums called them "Williams sights". Looked into it through their sight and though it would simple to replace the blades. Come to find out CZ has LPA sights on their rimfire rifles. Not a whole lot of options and availability with LPA.

Looking for some advice that hopefully won't involve removing the sight ramps and starting from scratch.

Thank you in advance & Best Regards,

NC

Has someone started making FO sights for the CZs?

I don't think so. No blades that you can simply swap out. Heres what CZ's have on them

This is as close as I could find. But it means removing what you have, Starting over & some gunsmithing.

You have the first gen 455 sights.  They have since swapped back to the tangents like we're on the 452's.

I don't know of any FO sights for the CZs without going down to the "foundation" and starting over.

That was the conclusion I came to as well. Thanks Viking499 for your input.
