Front and rear sights

[garandtom]

Hey guys! Have a quick question, what sights are used on the mini g? I have a socom with giant front sight and the ghost ring aperture. Are the sights on the mini g special like the socom?

GarandTom - While there are many more expert guys on this forum than I expect I will ever be, let me give this a shot (and guys, if I screw it up please correct me)!

Mini G uses standard M1 sights. Or standard National Match sights. M1 or M14. Or BM 59 sights. I've been meaning to order a BM 59 front sight from Standard Parts (link below), which is a more narrow front sight than even the NM sight (it's about .45 vs .62) which should provide a better sight picture than a standard, or even NM, front sight, due to the shortened barrel.

JGW is correct IMHO. I used a BM59 front sight on my rifle because of the shorter sight radius.

IIRC, the BM59 front sight was designed for shorter barrel. I have some if you're shopping
