i managed to destroy the front shroud of my king sight tube. i had put a flimsy barrier between it and the dewey muzzle brake on my xp-.308 win. eventually the barrier was destroyed as was the shroud. the rest of my xps do not require muzzle brakes.
is there anyone out there with an extra sight tube shroud that i can buy from them?
please email me at <therose7@earthlink.net>

ps. i am not the maker of the king sight tube. that was richard king of arlington, texas. i have been shooting this sight system for almost forty years. obviously it works for me. the
.308 win. is my 500 meter silhouette pistol. originally in the early 1980s i could shoot this pistol without a muzzle brake, but this is forty years later and i am pushing eighty. i tried a few rounds without the muzzle brake, and this made it very clear to me that am not forty-one any more.
pps. i machined a heavy aluminum barrier to protect the next shroud that goes on this pistol.

within a couple of days of my posting a request for help locating a shroud to replace the one on my king tube which i destroyed with my dewey muzzle break, richard slaton was kind enough to tell me he had a spare. he was very gracious and sent it to me the next day. he would not let me pay him. he just wanted to be helpful.

i have placed it on the muzzle end of my original 1981 king sight tube which i have used for 38 years. i am really happy to have it back in action.

in my 40 years of shooting ihmsa i have found the people i have met to be some of the nicest people anywhere in the world. people have helped me with so many things i lost count long ago. i have met some of my best friends at ihmsa matches.

thank you richard and thank you everyone else.

peace,
