GRIFFIN TACTICAL New folding front sight (AFWS)

Holding zero

Unwanted adjustment/movement was a concern of mine. In those pictures the part you cannot see is the spring detent. The knob was placed on the backside so that when the sight is folded it would be virtually impossible for the knob to get knocked out of adjustment. The knob also will be firm to avoid possible or accident movement in elevation. Once I get the sig base finished I am going to get the first one made. At that point I will do some testing and will post results and pictures of the final product.

here is a view from the side mounted on the rail




Please post any question or concerns. The more input I get from the users the better I can make the product!

As always Thanks

Looks good to me, I like the fact it will line up w/AR sights since there are already so many good ones out there. Since the front sight post will be fixed, how about closing it up into a complete circle HK style? I love the fixed HK post centered in circle. I would definately be in for one with a closed sight hood in front.

I read somewhere that our eyes will automatically try and line up both circles (HK style hooded sight) when shooting through a peep rear and hk style hooded front sight. That was why HK designed fixed front posts centered in the sight hood, so your eyes will automatically try and align the circles which leaves the post dead center of your sight picture. It might not make a difference but with the current design the sight would always be centered in the hood like an HK style which I believe is a good thing. If you went with the AR style adjustable post I'd like to see the hood opened up slightly to make less of a circle or more squared off ears like an AR to prevent your eyes from fighting to align the front sight hood with the peep instead of centering the front sight post to the rear peep. Maybe a long shot but in theory it makes sense to me.
