BC rear sight adjustment?
« on: October 26, 2009, 03:56:39 PM »
 How do you adjust the Williams rear sight on the BC. It is shot to right about 1" at 50 yards.   I tried to find the answer in FAQ's but I didn't find it.  I'm sure it is in there some where  ???    Thanks 26-t        1" by 3" 10 shoot vertical stringing. From a rest not baged

The aperture carrier slides up and down the ramp, there's a set screw to loosen it, there's also one to move the aperture left or right, both are under the aperture itself, unscrew it counter clockwise to remove it.

One of the first things I did with my BC was to buy a smaller diameter aperature with a brass ring inset. Big improvement for $7. Form Amazon.com even.
If he's carrying a singleshot, don't expect a warning shot!

That's called a Twilight aperture, I've used them for years, but the most I use is just the carrier itself as a ghost ring, put a fine aperture in if I get a longer shot.  ;D For range work, I use a target aperture with a very small hole.
