FRONT SIGHT PUSHER

FRONT SIGHT PUSHER Reviews & Ratings

WILLIAMS GUN SIGHT FRONT SIGHT PUSHER

In the past, there was only one acceptable way to install a front sight in a ramp - pound it in with a hammer from the side. This method frequently marred a beautiful finish and loosened or damaged the ramp.

The Williams Front Sight Pusher is the easiest and best way to install a front sight in a ramp. Equalizing the pressure on ramp and sight, it permits installation without marring or damaging. Eliminates excessive pressure on the ramp. Smoothly, accurately moves sight into exact position.

This is only for a ramped front sight and will not work on any pistol sights.


SPECS:

  • Aluminum body is 43/8" (11.1cm) long x 1" (2.5cm) wide x 13/8" (3.5cm) high.
  • Screw is steel.

Will be sending it back
The one I got binds up when I try to push the sight. Not sure what is binding but it locks up tight with no push at all. Might be defective in some way. Will be sending it back. It looks like it would work well on blade sights, but does not have enough clearance for globe sights unless very low. Also does not work well on sights slotted into the barrel, really needs a base to work with. All in all, very limited on applications.

Not Impressed
I got this sight pusher 962-050-000 and I'm not very satisfied with it. I bought it to help prevent the marring that even a plastic hammer will make, but the pusher tends to slip off and mars the finish even worse. It's almost a 3-hand operation to hold it in place and use it. Also, I had to cut almost a quarter inch off of the pusher blade and square it up in the mill. Otherwise, it would not open up enough to push a sight in until the sight was almost in place anyway.
