e-mishka Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just curious if its possible to make one based on limited/hunter models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) slide is easy to cut for it .. its finding the ribbed barrel that might be the challenge. Edited August 16, 2013 by ogiebb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but that would be sooo labor intense .. you could probably just have someone thread the barrel and install a false comp to mount the front sight on like this ala STI Trusight http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=173950&hl=+cheely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes, I've been playing with the idea lately, the way to do the rib like a true sight tracker would be to machine a shroud to thread onto the barrel, with a corresponding cut in the slide; lots of work. The other way to do it would be like ogiebb said: a blank comp, like the Czechmate: Another idea I had was to find the spare barrel from a Gold Team (the unported one), cut the single compensator port off and cut a dovetail for a front sight.

The Gold team barrel is not a bad idea ... let me go get my hacksaw it would be a nice little Limited Gun Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealio Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I don't understand the appeal of the sight tracker for all the work it would require....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have a shooting buddy that has an STI Sight Tracker and he really likes it. He says that its easier to keep a hard front sight focus because its staying on the same depth of focus plane all the time. Making a sight tracker on an EAA Witness Limited is doable with its bull barrel. Just like anything, all it takes is time and $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just an FYI - The early hybrid scheumann's were cast metal ribs that were silver soldered on the barrel of your choice. I don't know why you couldn't do the same thing for a tanfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Didn't the original version of the hunter have what amounted to a barrel weight with a front sight on it attached to an extended barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
