Jody Waring Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I recently seen an EAA Limited gun labeled something like 'Brian Enos Limited' or custom, something like that. The gun was on GunsAmerica. Anybody know anything about these, and were they just factory guns, or built for B.E by a 'smith? I know when Doug K. was sponsored by EAA I think George Huening built his guns. Just something I am curious about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976399126.htm Less than 400 rounds fired. Looks like Brian shot it at one match, without practice. How much you want to bet it's not a Bo-Mar sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Waring Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 The Supersight by EAA I had heard wasn't very durable, I have one but never put it on a gun. From what I've read, they wouldn't last long for you Erik I don't think I've seen those mag-pads in person, I'm assuming they're hollow? The pads Tanfoglio produces look nothing like those, so I am unsure of who the manufacturer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Well, you can't fit a Bo-Mar in a SuperSight cut. And I can tell by the large hinge pin and large rear blade that it's a SS on that gun. Actually, there were factory base pads like that. I have a couple and several clones somebody made for me. They are hollow, and a couple screws in the back keep them from sliding off the mag. They give a couple extra rounds in 9, one or two in 40. I had to do some grinding to make them fit in the gun with the magwell of my P9. That would be a nice Limited 10 gun, or a Hawaiian Limited gun, or a Canadian Standard gun. The price is about right for a custom P9 Open gun.

Skywalker Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Well, you can't fit a Bo-Mar in a SuperSight cut. Quite not correct. Acording to Brownells catalog, Bo-Mar manufactures a version of their adj rear sight which can fit a SuperSight cut with minor modifications: BMCS-LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Waring Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 I wonder how much stronger the BoMar is compared to the SuperSight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I've broken elevation screws on both, but never a hinge pin on the SuperSight, IIRC. Brian has mentioned them coming apart but I don't know specifically what he was breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I used to have problems with the pin and the screw they took turns breaking. They only broke during matches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitz Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 As in my case, they always break during matches or if that doesn't happen your fiber optic has a will of its own. DVC, Henny. P.S. When are the manufacturers are going to do something about that? Because we pay a lot of money for those gadgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I can guarantee that gun/slide will break any adjustable sight you put on it, eventually. Is an individual selling it? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 The seller's name is Bill, in the 706 area code, wsodom@msn.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitz Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Jody, as for Bo-Mar.... In my case a Bo-Mar sight was fitted by Maurice Drummen Custom Guns, my favourite gunsmith (Netherlands). The genuine hinge pin broke twice, I replaced it by a nail, made of a softer metal, and since then it works well (until now! ) But on a match 2 weeks ago my fiber optic decided to get a life of its own. It's an Alfaro bright sight. (Costs me almost $200) I consider to take it of and fit a normal front sight to my gun. No trouble again and for me in the future no expensive gadgets anymore! Simplicity is the answer! DVC, Henny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J van Stockgun Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Ok Henny, at last you make a wise decision. Get rid of that "glowing worm" Get an original front side. Greetjes en tot woensdag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Waring Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 Schmitz, Is that the same 'smith Saul uses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitz Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Yes Jody, Maurice is Saul's gunsmith. Bomars break, everything on an gun eventually breaks, as Brian stated correctly; phoned Maurice today for a replacement. I know for sure that he'll find a cure for my problem with the Bomar-sight, because Maurice is a gifted gunsmith and IPSC-shooter, so he knows what he's talking about! DVC, Henny.
