How many variations of front sights are there on k-22s? In the past I have seen patridge front sights with a square red block on it. Recently i have seen a round red disc on a patridge which i cannot confirm is a stock sight.It is not sunk into the front of the sight. The sight pin looks untouched.
Are there any others that were special ordered ? Thanks

Baughman ramp and Baughman ramp with red insert.

The most common K22 styles I have seen are.

Pre war Patridge with gold or SS insert (left),
Early Post war barrels had a narrow tall rib with a matching narrow patridge site base (middle).
Heavy Masterpieces ramp bases were slightly wider to match the barrel (right).


The 17-5 and early 17-6 had slightly heavier barrels with wide rib and longer ramp base,
Most I have seen have Baughman ramps.

The 17-6 and 617 full underlug has a lower Patridge of slightly different shape.


Current style Model 17 and Model18 .

Thanks, What about the red circle disc thats on the thin rib version of the patridge sight,Is it from smith?

anyone please

I actually have a used 17-4 that came with a small orange like circle on the front site but have always assumed it was an aftermarket glue on piece.
