Knight Bighorn Globe Front Sight (Another Way to Do it)
First off, these are NOT my pics, I found this on another forum, I REALLY liked it! So this is what i went off of for my Friend’s Knight Bighorn. I had my Gunsmith Friend just up the Road from me Mill the Bottom off, and Contour the Bottom of the Lyman Globe with a Ball Mill so that it Sits perfectly on the Bighorn Barrel. I have used the MK-85 Front Sight base in the Past and drifted a Globe in place, It works, but is BULKY/GALKY, Hangs out the Sides, Stands to Tall, If you go that Route you Really need a Shim under the Williams FP Legend Peep To Compensate for the HIGH Front Globe Height. Using the MK-85 Front Sight base is Just not a great Setup In my opinion. I feel this to be FAR Superior. ROCK SOLID, and CLEAN, it looks like it’s meant to be there
Like i said These are NOT my Pics, But is where i got the idea from. I wish i had taken pics of my own yesterday when Putting his Rifle together. My friend’s looks just like this, Minus 1 Hole. After the Lyman Globe is Shaped/Contoured to Sit on top of the Barrel, 1 Screw is really all that is needed, Just use the Existing Front Sight Hole. I can NOT Budge my Friends, It is ROCK Solid. Another BONUS to this Setup is it ads some Light Through the Top of the Globe.
This Guy went with 2 Holes/Screws, But is really not needed, When Contoured like this, 1 Screw holds the Globe SOILD

I wonder if you can just buy the fiber optic and set them into your own globe? I don't think you'd even need the length, just a small section.
This reminds me. Yesterday when I was shooting my .45 I had the post insert in the front sight which I like for hunting. I switched it out this morning for the next shoot and put the crosshair/circle in. That should give me a more consistent sight picture.
I/m going to take a peek at my inserts and rummage through my archery box to see if I have any fiber optics that will fit.

Looking at my Globe sight there is only one way I could put a fiber optic sight on. I have a Pedersoli sight where the inserts slip into a narrow slot about mid-globe and the lock nut on the end holds it in place. I would have to put in the insert then run the fiber through the sight and try to get it into the insert! Then the only way to get it out would be to push it back out to change the insert.
