    SORRY MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCKED

    LOOKING FOR A WELL EXPERIENCED GUNSMITH IN THE FORT WAYNE AREA.

    I HAVE A BRAND NEW CHIAPPA XCALIBER AND HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SIGHT. I CANNOT ALIGNT IT WITH THE FRONT. IT COMES WITH A PICATINNYY RAIL BUT I AM SAVING THAT FOR MOUNTING A SCOPE.

    I WANT TO HAVE THE REAR IRON SIGHT REMOVED AND PUT ON A POP UP SIGHT THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED FOR HEIGHT AND WINDAGE.

    #2 IS WHAT I WOULD LIKED REMOVED AND PUT ON A HIGH PERFORMANCE (NO PLASTIC) POP UP REAR SIGHT.

    PM ME TO GET MY PHONE NUMBER.

    PLEASE, NO ROOKIES. IM LOOKING FOR A WELL KNOWN REPUTABLE GUNSMITH

    :laugh: Too Funnyed. You could holded down the shift key.

    Is the front sight canted? Perhaps you can get TechSights that fit. Other than that, I got nothing.

    the front sight is a regular neon orange sight. not a bead sight.

    the rear sight is a tech sight but it sits too low for me to aim the front sight with the rear tech sight hole.

    I've tried holding the rifle many diff. ways, but the sight sits too low. I'd prefer a pop up rear sight or for the rear tech sight to be elevated just a bit.

    One could mill an elevator for the existing sight. Or one could install a short rail system for the receiver, then mount your "pop up" rear sight.

    However, I wouldn't take my recommendation. I'm just a rookie.
