Hi Folks,
I’m looking for a ghost ring that will fit onto the dovetail of my Diana 54. And a fiber optic pin that can replace the front post. Does anyone have one, or perhaps know where I can get one? Thanks, Pete. |

I had a bit of a nosie on line as I've not head of this type of sight before. (have used a peep sight)
Quite interesting. I also had a look around and to see what was a avalible. There are a few dove tail and more picatinny/weaver kits available. Tritium ones mostly in weaver. The name Tritium rang a bell so I looked up Tritium and it is used in watch hands. That may mean a watch maker may be able to add a couple of dots to a standard ghost day type ring as an option if you get stuck finding a night one. It has a half life of 12years (oh yeah it's a byproduct of nuclear, though does occur natural under certain conditions) after which time it will drop dramatically in luminescence but still be more than a standard light energised glow. Tritium doesn't need a light source to charge it for glowing. |

Thanks Kruza.
Not too worried about the glow in the dark part at the moment, Would just like to source a ghost ring that attaches to an 11mm dove tail on a springer 👍🏻. Did your search turn up anything like that? |

Dovetail yes not sure if 11mm.
Kit from UK £102.00 So Im guessing around $300 landed here. Could you drill out a peep sight. See if I can relocate store, might be in history. |

Nope haven't found 11mm dovetails yet plenty wider. Haven't searched through air soft sites.
They will be out there. Plenty that attach to threaded holes atop a gun, if yours has them. You could sort one out you like and cut an 11mm dovetail scope mount to size, get it faced on a lathe or milling machine, drill and tap the mounting holes. Sit sight on top. Could work out easier and cheaper. |

I wish I had the machinery and the skills to do all of that 🙈
I’ve been searching the web all day and can only find one option, a Williams WGRS - SAVAGE 54 for $45 USD plus shipping which will probably be about the same amount, if they ship outside of the us… 🙈 The 11mm dove tail rail can be unscrewed from the D54, leaving 3 threaded holes in the compression tube. So i guess I could use those to screw something into, but would still need to find the said “something”… 🤔 |

I assume your trying to keep it low.
There are a heap of adaptor mounts from 11mm to..... That would allow you to by any ghost ring set up. |

ja, I have such a nice cheek weld onto the comb with the current open sights, Id want to keep the ghost ring set up at exactly the same height as the current rear blade.

I think I’ve figured out that the whole front sight can come off the barrel, leaving a 9mm dovetail in the metal of the barrel. So does anyone know anything about front sights that will fit on a 9mm front site dove tail?
