need picture help with buckmaek silhouette

I have a buckmaek varmint that is being changed over to the silhouette configuration.

I ordered all the appropriate parts.

Trouble is the browning rear sight that they classify as the silhouette sight doesn't fit the sight rib!

Can anyone post or sens me pictures of their rear sight? I fear they sent a standard sight that is marked as silhouette.

The pic is the sight they sent me.

If emailing pictures is easier my email is ihmsar3@gmail.com

Thanks in advance...

did you get a response? I don't have the gun in front of me but my silhouette buckmarks all have the Millet sight.

Thanks for asking!

I called Browning, they transferred me to their gunsmith department. Explained the problem, sent them the picture. They assured me they'd call me back.

4 days later I called Midwest Gun Works. They had me email them the picture. 90 minutes later MGW called me and said "I'm holding the correct sight in my hand"!

It seems Browning changed the Silhouette Rib mid production but never made adjustments in the part numbers.

Buckmark is together and getting sighted in Friday.

Kudos to Midwest Gun Works, exemplary customer service. :-bd

As for Browning..... :-q :-q :-q :-q


Now to search for a front sight hood....

A failure of autocorrect!
