Bo-Mar Sight Rib Empty Bo-Mar Sight Rib

Post by scrum derringer Thu Nov 05 2015, 22:04

So I got all excited that I found an unused extended Bo-Mar sight rib, which arrived today. This was when I found out about new vs. old Bo-Mar hole spacing, while seeing that the hole closest to the muzzle is further spaced then that of my Clark mount on my LB Wadcutter. Aside from buying a new dedicated gun to have drilled for that sight, which is something illogical that I would do, metal integrity-wise, would it be a bad idea to have another hole drilled in the LB slide? I would be relatively close to the old one I believe. Otherwise, does anyone need an old pattern Bo-Mar and happens to have a new hole pattern in good condition rib that would like to trade? (Regular or Extended - No Tuner)

Will not hurt a thing. I use five number 8 screws and sometimes more depending on the application. I like torx pan head
screws machined to fit the counterbore. Allen/socket heads are a problem.

Thanks Jerry! Just to clarify, it would be okay for drilling the new front hole and abandoning the original front hole in the slide while using the bo-mar, and and vice versa when using the Clark scope mount? Thanks again!

Yes.. If the two holes intersect, I place a screw in the non use hole with non removable lock tite and machine it off flush with the slide.. Then, I drill and tap the hole next to it..

Just measured, and the new vs. old is 1/2'' apart. Would the hole plugs be necessary or just recommended?
