Peepsight for Firestorm?

steelerzzz · 05-09-2007, 07:25 PM

Now that Pa. has legalized peep sights for flintlocks, I am trying to find a peep sight to fit my T/C Firestorm barrel. (I know I'll have to drill and tap). I've contacted T/C and XS sights(ghost ring) and neither was able to help at all. Anybody have any suggestions ??

Call Williams Gun Sight Company TOLL FREE: (800) 530 - 9028. Tell them the kind of rifle you have and the way you want the Peep mounted. They have the firesight peep which is supposed to be pretty nice. Maybe you can find the one you want by looking at their site as well.. http://www.williamsgunsight.com/gunsights/about.htm

Isn't the firestorm a sidelock? Just use the T/C tang mounted peep.

Cayugad....Thanks for the Williams link. I see that T/C uses a Williams peep on the Omega X7, so I thought that they would know if the same peep could be used on the Firestorm. They acted like they did'nt want bothered ....they just told me that there isn't anything that fits the Firestorm.Hopefully Williams will be more helpfull. If possible ,I would rather have a receiver mounted peep (rather than a tang). Thanks

I have a Vpeep from RMC sports, if your far sighted, you may need this.

This is the Williams I have on on of my Tradition's sidelocks. It works excellent.

That V peep is a nice looking option. It might be another avenue to look into. I like the idea of looking over the front bead like that. It should gather more light to the sight which is the one complaint I have about peep sights.

I never seen the tang on a t/c firestorm maybe you can post a picture of the tang,I have tried the williams set-up peep but for some strange reason I don't care for it I had it taped on a renegade for a test run before I would drill and taped it.
I like the t/c hunter peep for me it is an outstanding peep and with a fiber optic front sight opens a new door for old eyes.
I have the t/c peep on my PA, hunter hawken 50 cal. flinter ,you will have to open the peep hole to .090 for early and late evening hunts,the factory hole is .040 great for target shooting and sunny days in the field but not enough light for them last min: hunts.
