Service
Sight Installation
Properly fitted sights, regulated and ready to shoot.
Service Overview
Iron sights that are poorly fitted or improperly regulated undermine accuracy no matter how good the firearm is. We install, replace, and regulate front and rear sights with the precision needed to shoot true.
This service is common for defensive handguns, hunting rifles, and shotguns that need improved or replaced sighting systems.
Sight work is detail oriented. A dovetail cut slightly off, or a sight pressed in without the correct tooling, can damage a slide or barrel that is expensive to fix. We use proper fitting techniques on every installation.
