Open sights?

The Revic is a joke for the price.

A good rear peep like a Williams and the Williams Western Precision front globe with a small .019” fiber optic insert is about as good as it gets.

This is what my daughter uses. She likes it.

Oh, glad to hear I got something right….

I ended up piecing together one of these but have yet to get my rear height situated. I’m pretty close but they were designed for a bolt action so their pic rail sits higher over bore than mine….short version I would not recommend.

But I am hard headed and going to make it work

Tracking this thread closely as I'm in a similar situation. @ElDiablito are you planning on mounting your rear peep to the WA rail? I plan to do my load development with my scope then remove it and mount a rear peep to the rail. I'm waiting for my rail to come in so I can quantify rear peep height and what I'll need for the front. I'm hoping I can use a Western Precision globe but not sure if my rear sight configuration will be too tall. Also, the front sight threads on the G3 are 4-40 and the Western Precision globe calls out 6-48/8-40 screw. Might need to drill out/re-tap for the larger screw or use some epoxy if keeping the 4-40 to keep from slipping.

I did look at the arrowhead configuration above as a backup plan. I'd need to have a spacer turned since the front sight is designed for a .875" barrel diameter and it looks like I'd lose the ability to mount the ramrod to gun which is an inconvenience/not ideal when backpack hunting.

I'm new to MZ this season and picked up a blem G3 based off of your feedback and received it a few weeks ago. It is a VERY nice/well constructed firearm (probably the nicest one I own now from a craftsmanship perspective). Thanks for the recommendation!

I know a guy with a few extra 4-40 screws that work…

Yes, the G3 is (currently) tapped for two 4-40 for the front sight. I bought 4-40 screws to mount my WWP globe. Fits perfectly. I’m going to bed it when I get the height right. It’s too low for my XS clamp-on rear with the WA pic rail. So working on spacer ideas now and then I’ll need to use longer 4-40 screws….




Congrats on the G3! Very nice rifles (another universe from some of the more popular/cheaper choices).

P.S. I’ve got 99 more of the 4-40 alloy socket head 3/16” screws if someone needs one. lol

@ElDiablito Do you know which muzzleloader that Williams is intended to fit? I bet the height would work with the WA rear sight. Might need one of those screws....

The globe is universal, I believe. It’s the Western Precision peeps that are model specific.

last year I was dead set on “I need to be able to dial”…rigged out a Williams western front globe and full proof rear. I’ve completely revamped and built a new rifle this year and decided on a fixed sight and setting it up for MPBR would be a much superior setup given the limitations of my eyes. With my 45 I can be in the goods beyond 250 and don’t want to shoot much beyond 200

So what sight combo did you go with for your MPBR system?

It’s still a work in progress. As of current I have the front sight that arrowhead sells, and a Williams rear for a marlin 336 mounted to a pic rail I shaved down flat, with a peep riser on it because I ran out of elevation. If that doesn’t work I’ll throw on a 336 fool proof and just crank it to where I want it and leave it. When I plug my MV and stuff into JBM it gives me a MPBR of 288 yards. Shooters calculator gives me between 250-275 depending on target size variable

Like Diablo, I also use the WWP with the .019 fiber optic front sight, and it works very, very well. I also use one of the inserts (the one with triangles) as it helps me get on target quicker.
