Tim/GA Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Has anyone seen the Taran Tactical front sight alone, not bundled with the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hysupra Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Also interested, the front sight looks really nice but I would pair it with Dawson adjustable rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyChris Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I had thought about shaving down my Dawson front sight ever so slightly, to achieve the same effect. But no, I haven't seen them being sold apart either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachvu Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I was interested in this as well, since the ratio with the rear notch seemed pretty tight. I ordered the set anyway, and will see how I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyChris Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) I contacted them via email and was able to purchase just the front sight. Following up on this thread in case anyone else was interested. Edited October 7, 2014 by HeyChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOM Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Would you measure the height, and width of the Taran front sight and let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyChris Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mine measures .228 height and .118 width. i'm going to pair it with a Dawson adjustable rear sight, but haven't installed it yet... so I'm not as concerned as others would be on the size. But I read others quote the size as .230 and .115, .220 and .115.. maybe I got one that was a misfit which is why I was able to buy just the front?

No, but I calibrated my digital calipers and got .225 height and .115 width this time. Then I measured my current fiber optic front sights width which measured .100 as it should. But I'm not a professional. Hopefully Taran Tactical can weigh in and verify which sizes are currently available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you were off by .003 on both measurements you can see why others have different measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a 220, a 230, and a 235 right now. 220s are out of production ( as everyone is shooting too high with them ), so our standard right now is a .235h .115w.

I'm putting my calipers away... they were cheap from Harbor Freight. Anyway, the size is less of a concern for me as I have an adjustable rear to help zero. Thanks for info TTI!
