Requires too much work to install(12/10/2015)
Replaced a Williams fiber optic front post with one from Marble
and I should have stayed with Williams. Even after filing numerous times the marble F.O. front post was extremely hard to install - if you file too much off you're screwed, so you end up
trying to fit it over and over again, filing a bit more each time. the Williams fiber optic front posts fit perfectly the first time you try. Save yourself a lot of grief and just by the Williams product.
Fitting needed, remove fiber to install(15/09/2017)
Yes, this sight has a base that is wider than most slots--I think the base on mine measured around .392". Would be a real advantage in an older, well-used rifle if its dovetail was "relieved" at some point; however, it's a (small) hassle to fit on a new gun (Henry Big Boy for me). A grinding wheel--a small Dremel grinding wheel works--might speed up the process over a file, but go slow and check
Even when you've got the base tapered so you can get it started well, you'll still have to pound to get it centered; well, at least it won't come loose! Remove the fiber-optic pipe before doing so (the pipe has only two supports, and so is more easy to snap as you pound the sight), and replace it (presses in) when you're done.
Very pleased with the final result: handsome and very bright.
Trapper warning(19/12/2009)
If you have a Winchester 94 Trapper, these fiber optic sights will not fit. They don't clear the front barrel band. I tried one and, after a lot of filing and fitting, the little metal tubes holding the fiber optic piece broke off, indicating that the construction isn't strong enough for the application. They don't fit and they're too delicate. Brownell's needs better application info. I've had good luck with Marble's gold/white dot sights on this gun. Still had to do some filing though.
