Encore sights on Handi
« on: February 22, 2014, 11:46:02 AM »
Has anyone ever mounted Encore rifle sights on a handi rifle barrel.
 Would like to put some iron sights on a few rifle barrels any suggestions.

I have a set of fiber optic Encore sights that I intend to install on my 357 Handi. I wish all the rifles still came with factory sights.

Not done those specifically but others. Its just a matter of having something you like and putting them in the right places. Ive used D&T for screws to epoxy to wrapping on tightly with electricians tape to try out and having them on for a year... :P .
Make sure the underside fits the barrel contour well. If it needs some tweaking you can put a wrap of sandpaper farther up on the barrel and run the sight back&forth to match it up.

I have acesses to all the machinery I need to install the sights. I gonna give the Encore sights a shot, I like them better than the H&R sights by far, i may try a band sight on the front of one of the barrels.
