So my vision isn't perfect, and I have the following problem with iron sights on an M1A.
The aperture ring is black. The front post is black. Most bullseyes are black. Most targets are dark colored (bear fur, animal hide, etc). Low light conditions make this even harder.
Since my vision isn't perfect, the front sight is hard to differentiate from the intended target.
Who sells JUST a tritium replacement front sight? Do tritium sights get so prohibitively thick that they completely cover a 6" target at 100 yards?
Or, alternatively, has anyone tried to put a light-gathering or reflective paint on the front sight of this type of rifle? Will the added contrast help? Any suggestions for a particular type of model paint if that is the way to go?
