HW50s Question....

[Mcrafty1]

If the front sight is completely covering the target you should be adjusting the rear sight up, not down? I have 2 50S and quite a few other HWs and have no issue zeroing them from 10-50yds. The one exception is that lollipop insert which I assume is meant to cover a 10m target. Not sure about that one though.

Regarding a Williams peep sight I say go for it though. I love the couple that I have. Night and day difference in target acquisition

You are correct, I broke down and looked at the book...made a world of difference when I adjusted the rear sight in the correct way.

Neon nail polish
Unlimited color variety and cheap/lasts forever

That's what I'm looking for. I'll find a bottle of florescent green and have a lifetime supply!

I have: white, bright orange, and black(the black is to cover up my mess ups or make the neons smaller)*easier to do that than to try and remove the paint
if you use a toothpick; its easier to apply it in dots and then build up the dot rather than trying to use the supplied brush

One thing about the interchangeable front sight insert; if you apply some sort of colored paint to the post/ball/whatever, you could always pop the insert out and turn it around to get back to the unpainted black.

I currently using a Williams FP-AG-TK on my HW30S with the post-ball front insert and I really like the setup. I might consider a little bright white coloring on the front sight at some point in the future; I just ordered an .050 low-light rear aperture for the Williams sight, we'll see how that works out (sight is factory-supplied with an .093 rear aperture). I do prefer the rear sight at the back of the receiver, have never been a fan of the rear (iron) sight being positioned halfway to the front sight, seems like a European thing to me.

There's a HW50S owner on YouTube (Brent Fox) who installed a Williams rear sight on his rifle; after seeing his videos I was inspired to get myself the same sight. He's also on this forum as Brentona, check his stuff out, lots of great info

I just ordered a Williams peep sight, I will still need to put some paint on the front sight though but after that I should be good.

Had to redo the sights on the old 188.
Up close pics look funny but when aiming; its much easier.
Blacked em out again first(with brush bc of area needed covered) then used a paperclip tip to apply the white
