Abstract: A sighting system for a firearm is provided and may include a rear-sight assembly having a rear surface opposing a shooter, a pair of rear-aiming points, and a U-shaped opening disposed between the pair of rear-aiming points. The rear surface may be formed at an angle relative to a top surface of the firearm such that a bottom portion of the rear surface disposed proximate to the top surface of the firearm is farther away from a shooter than a top portion of the rear surface. The sighting system may also include a front-sight assembly including a housing having a front-aiming point, a brightly colored material surrounding the front-aiming point, and a top coat extending over the brightly colored material and the front-aiming point.

Abstract: A sight assembly for a firearm is provided and may include a main body attached to the firearm and a pair of projections defining a first surface opposing a shooter and a second surface formed on an opposite side of the projections than the first surface. The first surface may be formed at an angle relative to a top surface of the firearm such that a bottom portion of the first surface disposed proximate to the top surface of the firearm is farther away from a shooter than a top portion of the first surface. The sight assembly may further include a U-shaped opening disposed between the pair of projections and in communication with a passage defined by the pair of projections, whereby the passage widens along a length of the pair of projections in a direction extending from the first surface to the second surface.

Abstract: An adjustment turret for an optical sight includes a body, an adjustment shaft, a cap, and a locking pin. The body includes a cavity and an axial bore. The adjustment shaft threadably engages the axial bore for relative rotation therebetween. The cap is connected to the adjustment shaft for rotation with the adjustment shaft relative to the body and is axially movable relative to the body and the adjustment shaft between a first position and a second position. The locking pin is axially movable with the cap and is received in the cavity when the cap is in the first position to prevent relative rotation between the cap and the body and is removed from the cavity when the cap is in the second position to allow relative rotation between the cap and the body.
