Alternate sights for Versapack .22?
« on: December 23, 2006, 08:58:33 AM »
I tried to mount a 4x scope on the Versa Pack .22 with poor results.  Can anyone recommend a receiver sight setup that will work without replacing the front sight?  If not, and the front sight has to be replaced then what brand worked best?  Williams. other?

Thanks,

Steve, I don't have a Versa pack, so I'm not familiar with how it's set up, but take a look at the Peep and Firesights in the FAQs, maybe that will help.

Steve:

I bought my 17 year old special needs son a VersaPack and had NEF drill and tap both barrels for a scope rail.  I removed the front sight and filled the hole in with a screw plug and then removed the rear dovetail sight.  A small amount of sanding was required on the plastic rear sight housing on the .22 barrel so that the scope rail didn't interfere with it.  The .22 barrel has a Tasco Red Dot mounted on it while the .410 will have a Mueller Quick Shot.  Everything seemed to work out OK except I had to file the  scope rail slot a little to fit the Tasco's cross slot dimensions.  Here's a couple pictures of the setup.
