redman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Does anyone make a dovetail to picatinny front sight adapter for the 522 classic ? I have the hand guard rail kit, want something for front top.

imschur Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Hi redman. That companies links are automatically block here because of their anti gun policy. That means your link is broken. Perhaps you can post what it's called
cazio Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I just looked up the link an it is a dovetail to picatinny rail adapter for the sig 522 & 556. They list is made of aluminum with a steel set screw. I don't want to get in trouble by posting a picture from the website. If you want to see it just search the site with the number in the post above.Cazio
redman Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 Sorry imschur I did know realize that, but should have known better about that sight.Thanks cazio for adding the info about the adapter, once I get one I will take my own pics and post.
Madhouse Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Save your money. This thing is VERY flimsy.I mounted it' date=' and it looked like a very good fit in the dovetail. Then I tigtened the screw and it nearly pushed the mount straight up right out of the dovetail. I applied a bit, and I mean a very small bit, of pressure to the rail with my thumb, and it bent quite easily.I would NEVER trust this rail to hold a sight on a rifle I expect to trust my life to. No way.I took some measurements with my admittedly old vernier caliper. Pay attention to the 1mm measurement. It's just not enough material for an aluminum rail. I'm not even sure it would be sturdy enough if it was made out of steel.[/quote']
cazio Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Sorry to hear that it is so flimsy >:(. It looked as if it was going to be just what so many people were looking for.Cazio
a|ex Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 you can use sig 556 front sights https://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=27007/Product/SIG_556_FOLDING_FRONT_SIGHT-a|ex
cazio Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 That is a nice looking sight. I think most people were excited about the adapter because it would allow the use of any of the many buis out there, I like the yhm that I have on my ARs but I read rave reviews about the troys. I have the sig hooded front sights on both my 522 and 556 patrol rifle and really like them. Cazio
