Latest 3rd prototype pics of water cooled/air cooled Ruger 10/22 rifle
Bill_Akins:
Anyone have an opinion/preference of the different sighting system or systems in my mockups?
Which one do you prefer for the air cooled? The water cooled?

Ghost:
Personally, I'd like your 4 bolt rear sight and the 1919a4 style front sight for both the air and water cooled versions. I don't know if that style front sight could be made to work with the water jacket or not, but I've been fascinated by your fabrication skills so far. IMHO, that combination of sights would just look right to me.

In any case great work Bill...

Thanks Ghost, and for letting me know which ones you preferred. Unfortunately the air cooled, rear of cooling shroud mounted, 1919a4 post front sight setup, would not work when the cooling shroud was removed and the water jacket installed. And to me the AA spider sight just doesn't look as good on the water cooled version as it does on the air cooled version. Yes they made water cooled ones with AA spider sights, but they aren't as typical as the ladder sighted ones.
I think I am going to have to stay with the same Browning style of hooded front post sight on the water cooled version. After the feedback I have gotten from people, I think that will be the final water cooled version's only sights.
But that same feedback has told me that many people like both the AA spider sight AND the 1919a4 style sights on the air cooled version. So although it looks like the water cooled version will only have one choice of sight setup, my air cooled version will have two.... Both the AA rear spider sight with tall front post, and the rear ladder sight with 1919a4 style front post (the one you like best).
After receiving lots of opinions at this and various sites, I think that will be the best combination.
Watercooled gets one kind of sights. Air cooled gets two sight options.
