RacingManiac Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 http://www.cobraairsoft.com/product_info.p...e93d50df9f39247 Anyone used these or have seen it? It seem to be the only alternative to the colorful Fibre Optic sight that the Freedom art has or the new SD rear sight thing. Looks interesting and I am tempted to get one....

They fit well on the Nineball & Tanio Koba slides, but I had trouble with one when I tried to fit it onto a SD metal slide; it would so very slightly misalign the blowback chamber, so when I tightened the hex nut, the slide wouldnt cycle smoothly. Not sure how they fit with Guarder/Prime/PGC. So in other words, if the hex screw that held the blowback assembly was loose, the gun cycled perfectly fine, but I wasnt too thrilled with this so went back to the original sight...

Utty Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 It's complete junk, stay away from it. It's like Nineball never even tested these sights on an actual Hi-Capa before shipping them out, very odd. Link to post Share on other sites

You would've had to file the original sight to fix the SD slide on anyway surely? Thats a well known fact on all SD slides, the rear sight will need filing or the chamber wont sit properly.

Those Nine Ball sights are also incredibly ugly. I saw a set fit once, and man do they look bad. Frredom Art also only makes a front sight, their full sight sets are for the 4.3, not the 5.1.

As for the FA front sight, I bought one for my 4.3 - but the red fiber dot sits much higher than the stock white dot, making the aim way too high! Freedom Art, I hate you!

hkssr20det Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Freedom art sights are also a pain to fit. They are just a little bit too wide to be pushed into the dovetails. Not hard work, but a drag on something so small. Link to post Share on other sites

Dom Filed quite a bit to where the fit was as clean as the stock sight, but if I tightened the chamber in as hard as I do with the stock sight, then it was a no-go. I had to let up about a 1/2 turn in order for the slide to cycle properly. Link to post Share on other sites
