Front sight insert assortment set to fit our 17 series front sights, the Lyman 17a series, Browning BPCR, and others.
Front sight insert assortment set to fit front sights such as Lyman 17a series, Browning BPCR, my small 17 series sights and others.
It consists of ten inserts on one card, of which three are apertures, three are posts, a crosshair, and etc as seen in the picture.
The outer diameter of the inserts is .474" where it fits into the body of the sight. The two alignment tabs are on the centerline of the insert, and measure approximately 1/16" top to bottom. The inserts are made from .010" thick spring steel and are generally blue, but may vary in color from bright blue to a dull brown.
Because of the manufacturing process we use to make these insert sets the edge is not flat. It protrudes in the center so the aiming surface is actually narrower than the thickness of the insert, giving a sharp, clear sight picture.
Also because of the very thin nature of the inserts it is possible to install more than one insert at a time in most sights to allow customization of your sight picture. For instance I use the middle and large ring apertures together to make the annulus appear heavier and easier to see in all light.
Dimensions: .474 inches; 12.05mm

I'm refinishing the stock for a Mossberg 144 LSB. The only original inserts I have are circles and 1 heavy post. I searched online and found these. They are exactly what I needed. Shipping was quick and price was great. Brownell's wants $51 for these. Thank You Lee.

Installed the crosshair insert...like aiming a scope. Can combine inserts for a custom sight picture. Well made, much finer than standard inserts. Well worth the reasonable cost.

Absolutely gorgeous workmanship on these inserts.
Clearly made from high-quality spring steel, these things will last many lifetimes if stored correctly.
Not to mention the super fine details for incredibly precise aiming.
All for $25? This is a no brainer!

Like others these old eyes don’t work that well anymore. These inserts give me a wider view of the target and it’s background. The fine lines give a much cleaner sight picture.

It was so pleasing to find these replacement sights for years i was stuck with a pin sight view which blocked the target All around great service

They fit and I can see them. I like to stack various inserts to fit the target. Also shipped quickly.

RE: 17a Globe Inserts
Be getting older with my eye site, have added your sights to my Sheridan .22 cal. pellet rifle to make it like my Sharps rifle. Impressed from being able to shoot longer range with better accuracy.
Very much recommend these rifle sights and inserts.

I've used a Globe front sight for years, but only with the aperture inserts that came with it. Never used anything other than the thinnest post, but always wished for one that was even thinner for more precise aiming. Well, these Shavers are the answer! The one that is a fine crosshair is as thin as the crosshairs on any of my Scopes. And the posts are a third the thickness of my current post. This should make a few squirrels nervous...

If you have good eyes you will have no problems with this type of sight.
I am having custom lenses made with the progressive aspect reversed so I can shoot easier with these.
Having said that, my favorite combo is the fat 4 post combined with the fine crosshair. These inserts can be stacked in the front sight. Shooting with this combo mimics a 1X scope. With both eyes open its even better and accuracy is easily equal to a 1x scope.
Highly recommend these if you have the 17A front sight, you wont regret it.
