Abstract

The front and rear sights for shotguns which are the object of the present invention provide the use of M16 / M4 style sights within sight bases which can be affixed to the receiver and barrel of a shotgun. An enhanced level of precision as well as familiarity is imparted to shotguns which employ sights of the configuration described within the present invention. The addition of a M-1913 style rail base to the rear sight assembly brings the added benefit of the ability to add an additional sighting collimator to the rear sight assembly in terms of a reflex, or refractory optical sight which conveys the benefit of a co-witnessed sight alignment. The use of M16 / M4 style sights which have proved the test of time in military deployments from the 1960's until the present time bring an operationally sound modality to shotguns that are tactically employed.

Description

BACKGROUND--FIELD OF INVENTION[0001] This invention relates to firearm sights, and shotguns in particular, whereby M4 / M16 style sights can be utilized in conjunction with with an integral mounting rail.BACKGROUND--DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART[0002] Traditionally shotguns have been employed for wing shooting activities due to the pattern of projectiles that they produce which increase probability of hit upon moving aerial targets. With current law enforcement practice employing shotguns for applications where previously carbines would have been utilized, there is a cross-over use for a shotgun where it now is used in a manner similar to a carbine or rifle. With the demands for precision rifle style of fire as opposed to an area of fire, the need for precision tactical sights that perform similarly to those on a rifle or carbine is of paramount importance. Conventional shotgun sights are very rudimentary and predicated on a perfect mount of the firearm to the shooter so that they become u...
