Forty I know on the rear sight of you other guns you have modified them to your liking. Is that modification necessary to make the ghost ring work you made or can it be used by simply taking out the annoying white diamond insert.

All my previous mods have been to the factory insert and the newest .150 dia. hole insert will slip right in locked in place with the screw on side.
I actually made that insert from a piece of hacksaw blade and ground to fit. Took about 10 minutes of work!

I like it!

I enjoy seeing hand-done repairs & modifications as opposed to always reading about a rifle being sent back.

I drilled a hole in the blade of my sight when I first got my BBB and that helped a lot initially but I eventually discovered the trick with the Williams sight and the original is long gone. I eventually lost the blade and it got vacuumed up I think!
