Abstract

An improved clarity sighting system; the improved clarity sighting system includes a collection of front and rear firearm sights, and a gauge tool having mock front and rear sights representing each of the genuine front and rear sights. The gauge tool simulates sight pictures formed by the alignment of the mock front and rear sights. Each of the mock-front-sights corresponds to and replicates the size and shape one of the genuine front-sights, and each of the mock-rear-sights corresponds to and replicates the size and shape of one of the genuine rear-sights. In this way, a user may visually determine which combination of each of the plurality of front-sights and each of plurality of rear-sights matches the user's vision. Each of the genuine front and rear sights are enlarged and are tapered on each face towards the muzzle of then firearm in order to enhance clarity.

Claims7

Dependent claims

A system for selecting firearm sights, the system comprising:

a collection of firearm sights comprising
a plurality of front-sights;
and
a plurality of rear-sight;
a gauge tool able to simulate a sighting arrangement on a firearm, the gauge tool comprising:
a plurality of mock-front-sights;
and
a plurality of mock-rear-sights;
wherein each of the mock-front-sights corresponds to and replicates size and shape of at least one of the plurality of front-sights belonging to the collection of firearm sights;
and
wherein each of the mock-rear-sights corresponds to and replicates size and shape of at least one of the plurality of rear-sights belonging to the collection of firearm sights such that a user may visually determine which combination of each of the plurality of front-sights and each of plurality of rear-sights matches the user's vision;
wherein the gauge tool comprises:
an elongate body;
a front-sight-array having two or more of the plurality of mock-front-sights;
a rear-sight-array having two or more of the plurality of mock-rear-sights;
and a front-coupling rotatably connecting the front-sight-array to the elongate body;
and a rear-coupling rotatably connecting the rear-sight array to the elongate body;
wherein the front-coupling and the rear-coupling rotate along the same axis, such that each of the plurality of mock-front-sights can be selectively aligned to each of the plurality of mock-rear-sights by manually rotating at least one of the front-sight-array and the rear-sight-array relative to the elongate body.
