front sight on Westley 16 ga
      #362405 - 20/02/22 09:52 PM

I took the Westley 16ga out of the case tonight and while admiring it I noticed the bead was different than I've ever seen before. Anyone ever seen a front bead like this?

New to me. Were the barrels shortened, perhaps?

I was told by a guy on another forum that it was a special order item. He has a WR a couple of years older than mine with exactly the same front sight.

Not exactly like that but my beretta has a front sight in a wedge that is put in a grove down the rib where as that is more like an end cap.
