ABSTRACT:
A sighting device in the form of a fiber optic front sight has a frame which mates with a vent rib of a weapon. The frame defines a hole which fits over a front bead sight on the shotgun. A locking screw threadingly received in an upstanding boss on the frame is turned such that the locking screw engages the bead sight to secure the sighting device to the shotgun. A fiber optic element is secured to the frame and the mating of the frame with the vent rib aligns the fiber optic element such that one end faces the stock end of the weapon. The fiber optic element absorbs available light and emits this light through the ends of the element. Another embodiment of the sighting device utilizes a bolt to secure the sighting device to the shotgun by threadingly engaging the threaded bore used to mount the front bead sight once the front bead sight has been removed. An additional embodiment utilizes a front sight with one fiber optic element and a rear sight with a pair of fiber optic elements. The front fiber optic element is viewable between the pair of rear fiber optic elements to aim the weapon.
