What's this sight type called? Help please

[LeducAb]

I bought my GF a Turkish shotgun and it has this high front sight that I would like to lower closer to the barrel.



It mounts over a piece of steel welded to the barrel and tightens against the steel with a set screw



Total overkill for what we are using it for (hunting grouse)

I'd like to have a sight that mounts the same way but doesn't lift so high up.

If anyone can tell me what this is called and its mounting style name, I can start my searching.

Much appreciated!

I've figured out that it's a ghost ring sight, I just can't figure out what to call the mounting system to get a more streamlined lower mount

Looks like front sight from Turkish Sinssinati shotgun, there are shorter sights get in touch with Corwin Arms in Kamloops.

Yes it is, it never occurred to me to ask Martin.

Thank you

You probably know this, but a lower front sight will raise the point of impact unless you can also lower the rear sight/sighting point.

Thanks for that Dan, I just wanted the option of using a reflex sight for my GF and not having interference.
