Armson Sights and Duckslides

VVulfe · 12-02-2007, 11:31 PM

I've been taking a look at the Armson Pro-Dot Max Duty and Pro-Dot sights as options for my Duckslide Phantom, and I have two questions:

1) Will they fit on a Duckslide's sight rail?

2) Do you think the Max Duty is worth the extra $10?

the Duckslide one piece feed uses a Weaver width dovetail. i think the Armson sights fit a 3/8th width dovetail and if that's the case, no, it will not fit on a Duckslide one piece feed. if you use the stock CCI feed it'll work. the CCI is a 3/8ths dovetail..

You can get adaptors. Also, Im not familiar with the particular Armson sight you've listed but most sights will fit the two standard sizes, you'll just flip the dovetails over.

That's a bummer. I'm going to look into those adapters that Kidneythief mentioned.

Does this mean that a Ghost Ring won't fit the feed tube either?

i doubt the ghost ring will fit the Duckslide one piece feed. most of the ghost rings i've seen are for the 3/8ths dovetail.

i've used these adapters for a 3/8" to Weaver and they work great and are high quality and have a low profile. MidwayUSA - B-Square 3/8" Dovetail to Weaver-Style Adapter
you'll need the opposite though... a Weaver to 3/8" adapter and i'm not sure who makes those. i'm sure JCS makes one but in my opinion JCS is crap. i bought one of their adapters for a 3/8" to Weaver and that thing was a total piece of crap. very poor quality.

I don't think this info is correct... Very sure the VKC one piece feed I had was dovetail, not weaver. Just noticed Mongo's site verifies this, too.

you are correct and i was wrong. my bad...

i could've sworn it was a Weaver mount but it isn't. i just verified it by looking at mine. i guess i should've done that to start with. lol... oh well... sorry for the misinformation.

Happens. No sweat!

Hope I didn't sound like a jerk. Just reread my post. Sounded a bit harsh, perhaps.

c6quad · 12-05-2007, 12:32 AM

you didn't sound like a jerk at all... it's all good.

hell... i would have typed the same thing you did, and i'm glad you caught my mistake!
