Tanfoglio Limited/Stock 2-3 rear sights

[vgdvc]

Hello all. Has anyone successfully installed a Kensight LPA cut rear sight on a Tanfo Limited,Stock 2,3? If so what kind of fitting was required? Thanks

I have a thread here on it too and sent the member a PM that put them on. No response... must be busy. Anyway... I e-mailed the contact I have at Kensight and just so happen to have gotten my response today:

 

Hey Jesse,

 

 

Happy New Year! 

 

I’m sorry for the delay but we may be able to help with this one.  Tanfoglio used to use LPA, which makes sense because both manufactures are Italian.  They stopped using LPA and switched to a sight made by SMS.  I don’t know if they changed sight cuts when they changed suppliers.     

 

From the looks of the sight below, they didn’t.  If that’s true, we have several rear sights that will fit. 

 

Please confirm if your sight looks like the one below.  If it does, the drawing for the LPA sight cut is below, please compare the two.  If you need the drawing in metric, I’ll convert it. 

 

I’m pretty confident that our LPA style rear sights will fit. 

 

Also, could you give me the size of the front dovetail?  They are measured from front to the back, at its widest point (the bottom).   If you can’t, I’ll do my best to find out the dimensions for you.

Here is the drawing and I confirmed I have the old Super Sight cut on my Hunter. Just waiting for the part number they tell me to go with.

Nothing from Kensight as of today, but the member here got back with me. He is using this one:
