This Williams Gold Bead Shotgun Sight (part no. 1772, No. 3) rounds out the middle of the Williams gold bead lineup with a 3-56 x .130-inch shank, a slightly finer thread dimension than the No. 2 sight. Made by Williams Gun Sight, it delivers the same bright gold bead visibility that helps shooters pick up their sight picture quickly on moving targets, whether at the trap range or in the field. As with the rest of the line, matching the shank thread to your shotgun’s existing mount is the key step before ordering.
