I would call JJ Perodeau at Champlins. You might want to use Warthog Ivory, as I do not think it yellows as fast as elephant ivory. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Have you tried applying a little white out to your excisting front site? If your parents didn't have any children chances are you won't either. | |||

Hi Mike, JJ is putting a warthog ivory SIGHT on my rifle as part of the to-do list that I sent to him when I sent the rifle to him in December. It should be back in my hands by mid NOVEMBER and I can't wait. Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

Don't know what the front sight on your Famars looks like. On the flip-ups I just glue them in the upright position so they don't move. Surely you can get a gunsmith to fake it with one of the NECG white beads. Or get one of the threaded shotgun beads and screw it in behind the front sight. What's a matter old man, can't see that tiny brass bead anymore?  ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Mike, Are you talking about adding a flip up ivory sight or an ivory face on your regular sight? If it's the regular sight I'd recommend a platinum face with a 45 degree cut. The platinum face really picks ups light. In any case speak with JJ. | |||

Just get some white nail polish. Touch up when needed. Only a buck or two, and you do not have to be without your DR. Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

To Will, I think we all type "web site" so often that when we think of "rifle sight" we slip into the S I T E spelling. I fixed it in my post above. Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

Something like this if you can have one fit on the famars would be perfect. The best of both worlds.   | |||

If you want a new front sight for your double contact Nick Tooth PH # 417-581-4570, he does first rate work! I thinkas good or a bit better than JJ. Just my 2 cents. Ed DRSS Member | |||

NECG carries the Recknagel sight either banded or screw in. Thinking about an upgrade for my some of bolt rifles. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Mike, You don't need to send the gun out to get that done..You can order a front sight from NECG or Brownells..Be sure and measure your present sight from bottom to top..If you are ordering a larger bead then you may want to compensate for that by going to the next smaller in height as you will take more bead in your sight picture with a larger bead as the bigger bead will lift the barrel and make you shoot a tad higher.
