    Repo ~ USMC Sight Hoods ~~ Where to buy ??

    I have an old-timer friend, with eye problems, but still likes to shoot his 03's. He has "Tall" blades on front sights and would like some tall USMC type hoods/protectors to help him see his front sights.

    Thanks, Don W

    This Genlemans name is Bill Bentz. He sells complete USMC reproduction front and rear sights and front sight covers for shooters.

    Send him an email and he will forward a price list and what he has. I just did the same thing for an old timer friend of mine who was looking for a complete setup because his eye sight is not as keen as it used to be.

      All those things do is screw up the sight picture as the eye tries to put the circle in the circle. He'd be better off getting a lyman front sight

            Hi Phil, Thanks for the info. I understand your thoughts & he has a couple equipped as you suggest. He just wants a coupe of the others to try also.

              Don,

              You are quite welcome. Although I don't own a USMC rifle I know how hard authentic parts are to come by especially for an old timer just looking to still have fun shooting his rifle. Glad I could help.
