With my FR8 Mauser carbine, which has the standard HK sights, the front post looks much thicker when viewed towards a bright ceiling light bulb.
When sweating outside today with scattered or broken clouds barely blocking the sun, did not notice anything different.
Last week a friend had sliced off the original post on a spare sight, and replaced it with a taller roll pin, which has a uniform width.
Refraction also seems to be the case with the nice Service Grade Garand from the CMP: SA action and barrel, but at least the classic post is very thin.
It does Not seem to be the case with the short Enfield #5 nor the longer, standard #4s.
Are these perceptions because of different sizes/thicknesses of the aperture openings, or different color of paint or bluing?
