Recent puchase of the Gen 3 P50 Paratrooper sight
« on: March 18, 2022, 02:07:37 PM »
Did a cut-n-crown on a parts gun build and purchased the latest version of Darin's aftermarket front sight. Love the sight, only issue I had was with the lock/set screw for the sight post barrel. Being angled down the rifle barrel interfered with the hex key. Not sure if it is the way I have it set up or the nature of the beast, lol. I believe cutting down the short end of the hex key to shorten the length about 1/8"-1/4" will take care of that though. Because of the way I mounted it I put the barrel adjustment lock/set screw toward the front to get better access. Probably going to swap out the scope for a red-dot as the LOP on these old CE folders is quite long. Not sold on the stock, but it does give it that faux AK/faux MP-40 look, LOL. Anyway, very pleased with the sight, great quality and very good instructions. Thanks Darin (and Cheryl)
Here's some pics.
