The Lyman Series 17A Target Front Sights deliver precision alignment and versatile compatibility for the 57SML receiver sight, including a set of 8 interchangeable inserts to dial in exact sight Picture. The 17AML sits close to the barrel with a height of .494 inches, while the 17ATC is designed for rifles that use a tall vernier-type rear sight with a height of .852 inches, ensuring accurate, repeatable aiming across a range of configurations. All 17s are machined from high-quality steel and use a standard 3/8 dovetail for secure, repeatable mounting, with the exception of the 17AEU which employs a European Dovetail specifically for Lyman muzzleloaders. This combination of robust construction, precise heights, and flexible insert options makes the 17A a dependable choice for shooters seeking reliable front-sight performance in shotgun and rifle applications alike. Built to withstand field use, the 17A series provides consistent alignment, quick target acquisition, and adaptability across different sighting setups, helping you maintain accuracy during hunts, match shooting, and range sessions.
