Ghost ring on my 7.62 Patrol

[wood chucker]

First off, atta boy to Williams gun sight co. The current production stuff is identical in every way to the same stuff from 40 years ago, same quality, same fit, same finish and the respective parts like windage and elevation slides and apertures interchange with like parts regardless of when they were made.
Secondly, the folks at Williams are very decent people who know their stuff and are helpful too.

AFAIK this is the very first Patrol fitted with the WGRS so you won't find it in the catalog.( yet )
If you want to follow suit just order the WGRS-700, it drops right on. Installation took less than a minute.Two screws and two drops of blue lock tight and I was done.

The next to last pic is the WGRS base with the Fire Sight ghost ring installed. Very fast sight alignment.

It sounds great. Unfortunately I am unable to see any of your photos. I'll try again when I get home on a different browser.

[wood chucker]

Thanks fellas.

and

I like the sights but how will you mount a scope?

By milling off a flat spot on the rails top side all the way at the back and then bolting on a WGRS for a Marlin 336.

Then you are using the rail supplied with the gun? That does make sense. I have the 7.62 patrol and would like to do that. Does the present front sight work or is a bar better?

 

[wood chucker]

Yup, re using the factory rail on the first go around. Second go will be with the EGW rail

The front sight will play well with this combo. Eventually we are going to put on a wing protected front but until then the factory front will do fine. It's actually a decent sight.
