Williams built its name on iron sights that hold up in the field, and the WGOS rear blade is a straightforward way to modernize an older rifle without a scope or a trip to the gunsmith. This is the slide and blade combo that seats into a standard Williams WGOS rear sight base. It carries a U-shaped green fiber optic rod paired with your existing front bead for a two-dot picture that snaps into focus fast, whether you're glassing a treeline at dusk or lining up on paper at the range.
The green fiber optic rod pulls in ambient light and channels it back to your eye, which is exactly what you want when the sun drops and a plain black notch turns into a smudge. Because there's no battery or tritium involved, it's dead simple: more light means a brighter dot. The blade is machined from aluminum with a black anodized finish, so it stays light and shrugs off weather. This is the 3/16" height version, which suits total sight heights roughly in the .281 to .345 range, so it pays to check your existing sight height before ordering.
This rear blade fits all standard size Williams adjustable rear guide open sight bases and is adjustable for both windage and elevation, so zeroing is quick once it's seated. A useful point worth knowing: this is the upper slide and blade only, not the dovetail base. If your rifle already wears a Williams WGOS base, you're set. If not, you'll want the matching base to go with it.
One tip from folks who run these: the screws are on the soft side, so use a properly fitting driver and go easy on torque. Many shooters put a witness mark or a touch of thread locker on the elevation screw after zeroing to keep it honest through recoil. Do that and this little sight will earn its keep on lever guns, rimfires, and traditional hunting rifles for a long time.
No. This is the upper slide and blade portion only, designed to fit into a standard Williams WGOS rear sight base. If your rifle already has a Williams WGOS base installed, this drops right in. If it doesn't, you'll need to add the matching base separately.
The rear blade uses a green fiber optic rod in a U-shaped configuration for a two-dot picture. Green is easy on the eye and tends to gather light well in shaded or low-light conditions. It's commonly paired with a red fiber optic front bead for good contrast, though it works with your existing front sight too.
Yes, it's adjustable for both windage and elevation, so you can dial in your zero once it's mounted. A common tip is to use a correctly sized screwdriver and avoid over-torquing the screws, since they're on the softer side. Marking or lightly securing the elevation screw after zeroing helps it hold through recoil.
The 3/16" blade covers total sight heights in roughly the .281 to .345 inch range. Before ordering, measure your current sight height or compare against your existing setup. Williams also offers 1/4" and 5/16" versions if you need to run taller.
