## Abstract

An apparatus for use with a firearm, for example a shotgun, to aid in the sighting of the target by the user by providing a more directed view of the firearm's existing front sight by providing a collimated and more linear aligned line of sight. The apparatus is formed of any of a number of materials including rubber, plastic, metal or material composite and is solid. It is either rigid or flexible and can be installed or uninstalled quickly at any time at any position along the axis of the firearm barrel between the front sight and the users eye for temporary or permanent use. The apparatus may be of a single monolithic construction or segmented (i.e., notched) so as to break off into smaller segments which can be useful for a particular application or user. Various textured surfaces including camouflage colorings, and non-reflective finishes are anticipated as are straight, curved, or textured main sections. The apparatus may be formed of any desired material and finished in any color and surface finish or treatment, as described, so as to be a functional accessory to any firearm.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A firearm sighting device, comprising:
(a) a solid main section containing a collimation diameter and a longitudinal length and extending a predetermined distance along said longitudinal length; and
(b) at least two attached locking tabs beginning at one end thereof said main section and extending a predetermined distance along the first longitudinal axis of said solid main section;

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The firearm sighting device of claim 1 wherein said main section is formed of metal.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The firearm sighting device of claim 1 wherein said main section is formed of a plastic.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The firearm sighting device of claim 1 wherein said main section is formed of a material composite.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The firearm sighting device of claim 1 wherein said main section is rigid.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)
