Isn't it a bit tall?

Only slightly tall. This one was built to go with a globe front sight. Final version will be a few milimeters shorter, to match the standard front sight.

I'm just curious todg - you seem to know your stuff pretty well, and suddenly are developing many FAL related items. What is your background/credentials? I mean no flame by this and apologize if this has been duplicated, but I'm curious how you learned so much - are you a machinist?

Very creative looking! Great idea for those who want more precise adjustment!

Now if we could re-thread the foresight pin boss to 1/2 cm at 100m adjustments- WooHoo!

To answer your questions. I'm an amateur machinist and gunsmith (been doing it about 15 years) primarily involved with class 3 stuff. I designed the new PAWS supressors as well as some other gun related items.

Most of my work gun work has been at Police Automatic Weapons Service in Salem, OR. I know Dwight Williams through PAWS and hope to be working on some future project with him when he gets some free time.

If you'd like more info, you can email me at todg@cordite.com

I e-mailed him today to check status on this. I'll report my findings if/when he responds.

I thought that was a great sight!

That was a darn good idea and we at Fal Files waited and waited to hear more about it.>

Thanks for asking. Everything currently in limbo. My original manufacturer
has bailed, so I'm looking around for someone. I'll post something to the
fal files when I know more.
