Duane Thomas Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm not sure what you mean by a "flat" profile. But the MMC low profile adjustable rear sights also fit in the Novak dovetail cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Auggie, THESE adjustables are made for the Novak cut and have the blade profile you're looking for. Personally, I like the Heinies and the STI TAS better. Good luck! ETA: There's also THIS ONE. Edited September 9, 2009 by Nemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Goo to Brownell's, I am pretty sure Hienie makes a sight specifically for the Novak cut. http://www.heinie.com/lowmount.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Heinie makes a slant pro specific for the Novak cut. Good choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks guys...Heinie Slant pro with Dawson Fiber it is.... That's the exact combo I have and it is a really nice sight picture. I went with the Heinie "race cut" @ .156" and a .105" FO front. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 anybody have a SV fiber front and Heinie combo?....just curious which height heinie rear they bought I tried that combination and it didn't work for me. I had to get a Dawson front, .135" tall. However, the SVI front did work with the STI TAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo, why did it not work for you? was the front sight too tall...135" seems very low...thanks Auggie, sorry it took me a month to see your questions here. Yes, when I switched to the Heinie rear the SVI was too tall. The Dawson .135 is so low that with the sights aligned I can actually see some slide through the rear sight notch, but it hits where I want it to. Go figure...

ogiebb Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nemo, No Worries my friend i also switched to a .140 tall sight for the heinie and its just perfect.. thanks for the tip again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Take a look at 10-8 Perfromance sights. They make a Novak-cut R/S with different size notch openings (.125 -.156). They require a front sight that's about .180 tall. Dawson can help you with that. Edited October 27, 2009 by Boyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If I am not mistaken, MLE offers the latest version of the Warren/Sevigny sights for NOVAK cut. It would be worth a look . MLE is also a vendor here on BE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
