lksyotas Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Looking at all my options for irons only on my rifle. Want to shoot this year without optics an get back to good ol rifle marksmanship. I have researched all the threads I could find on what everyone is using. Was set on using a DPMS rear sight and JP Globe, JP stainless front sight, clamp on Armalite front sight, or Lipski/ Lyman combo. Problem is most of the options I've looked at are out of stock everywhere I've looked. I came across a sight maker that I haven't seen before: Hahn Precision. They offer a standard set screw or clamp on front sight. Anodized aluminum. Standard front sight posts. I plan on putting whatever front sight I go with just behind the Titan brake or just in front of the Troy 15" Alpha rail to maximize my sight radius. Anyone have any first hand info on the Hahn setup? Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Looks like it would be just fine. It is very sinmilar to the J.P. A2 front sight/adjstable gas block sight which a lot of us use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a slight bit lighter than the JP version. I think I'll give it a try and report back on how it assembles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon9 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 When you get it would you mind weighing it and letting me know the length (front to back) of it? Nice looking piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered last night. I'll report back with how it fits, weight, and length once it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lksyotas Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I received the front sight today and it appears to be machined well and hard anodized with an even finish. It slid right on my Nordic barrel and locked down tight with the included set screws. It didn't come with a front sight post or retainer so I'll have to fish around for one before I get it out to the range for a test fire. Anyway, here are a few photos of its weight, length, and installed. I think it looks asthetically pleasing as its round backside fits almost perfectly against the titan rail. I left a .020" gap between the base and the rail to allow the rail to free float without touching. Anyone know the best place to buy the front sight post and plunger components? I am thinking of getting a few different sizes ranging from mil-spec, .05, .03" to see which I prefer the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
