I'm currrently using a front post sight element.

Is there an aperture front sight option for the No 4 which doesn't involve drilling or similar 'smithing work to fit it? I thought the front post ws my only option on these. Sorry if I'm asking something obvious but this is my first venture into iron sights since I got back into shoooting. Last time I was using aperture sights was 35 years ago!!

Ah OK. Could you point me at an example or two please? I'd like to investigate that option.

I have looked at a lot of those Matchmaker front sights before but they alll seem (or claim) to need gunsmithing work. Maybe that is just removig the existing sight and guard though?
