BrianATL Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I have a P-16 with a low mount fixed rear sight. I would like to change to adjustable sight preferably Bomar but not sure If I want to mill the slide. Anyone have any brilliant ideas. And will I have to also change front sight this would be a great excuse to go for that fiber optic front sight I have been wanting as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I had just installed a caspian slide on my P16 limited, and will sell you the original slide from it, if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stumpnav Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Somebody sells an adjustable unit that is suppose to go into the factory groove. It might be Bomar or maybe Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 call dave dawson, i think he has an adjustable sight for paras(like the glock) idk if its for the one that comes with the bomar clones or if its the fixed sight I know he makes them for the fixed sight kimbers.

Kevin Kline Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I dont know if Heinie makes sights for Kimber or Para, but Im sure they probably do. I love the Heinie slant pros. Scott Warren also makes the Warren rear that Phil Strader had put on his LImited gasser and Ernest Langdon also has one on a few of his guns. It has the U shaped rear notch that is radiused in the bottom corner. This sight is also fixed. Looks pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman33_99 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I believe the Bo-Mar with the LPA cut will fit Or the Caspian with the LPA Cut Or just use Para's adjustable. If I am mistaken with any of these, hopefully someone will let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I guess it would kinda depend on what is in the gun now? Is it a Novak sight? Dot they have a different dovetail cut than others? Sounds like the slide would need milled for an adjustable, regardless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rishii Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 check [url=http://www.brownells.com for the mmc combat adjustable sights, if you para has a novak rear sight cut, however it may be hard to find a matching front sight that will fit the para front sight dovetail.

infinity Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 novak has an adjustable sight which looks similar to their lo-mounts and according to their website is a drop in with no milling required. http://www.novaksights.com/extreme_duty_ad...able_sight1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
