Good results with vent rib dovetailed front site...

My 21 inch M2 was shooting slugs 12 inches high and 6 inches to the left at 50 yards. i didn't trust myself to try and bend the barrel, so I had a local smith dovetail a Marble front sight onto the vent rib. Using the marble arms error correction table I estimated the sight with .343" height would be the closest (part number 603426). Midwayusa carries these sights.

It's great that the "ramp style" sights are really close in width compared to the vent rib. word of warning...the marble fo is actually pretty small 3/32".

was able to test it out today at the range, i have a picture of a 50 yard target (3 shots) and a 100 yard target (4 shots). i'm pretty stoked because initially with the factory sight...i wasn't even on the paper at 50 yards.

doh...double posted same picture twice. meant for this one to be in there.

Looks really good. I also dovetailed a front sight into the rib of my 930, but it was a Hi-Viz meant for a 10/22. I also dovetailed the rear sight in there as well. Works great for slugs.
