Where can you get sights for a 12 gauge Savage Stevens Model 67 pump shotgun?
AnswerShotguns don't have sights. Just a bead at the front of the barrel. Incorrect. Some shotguns do just have a bead at the muzzle's end ... but, shotguns do indeed have aiming sights available. Typically, a shotgun designed to shoot rifled slugs will have conventional, adjustable iron sights with the rear sight mounted in the area above the trigger & and a blade sight ... sometimes with a colored line on the front sight. A typical name for shotgun sights is called Ghost Ring Sights. It came standard on my Mossberg 500 12 Ha. Shotgun.
How do the standard AR-15 sights work?
The AR-15 rifle comes standard with aperture iron sights. The front iron sight is of the barleycorn style while the rear sight is one of two peepholes. The larger peephole is used for closer engagements and/or automatic fire while the smaller one is used for long range, accurate shots. The front sight can be adjusted for elevation by rotating the sight with the tip of a 5.56 round or a special tool. On the A1 style rear sight, turning the dial on the side adjusts windage by moving the peephole from side to side. The A2 has the same function for windage, and also adds a horizontally oriented dial for adjusting elevation. To aim, position the weapon so that the front sight covers the target and is centered in the peephole.
