Sight blackening
How are all you shooters who still use iron sights blackening your sights? Gil Hebard used to sell carbide sight blackeners years ago but I no longer see them listed.
Thanks in advance for your inputs

Bic lighter most of the time. But only if there's no breeze.

Re: Sight blackening
while I've still got my carbide smoker, I've used Birchwood Casey sight black, burned target pasters, masking tape, and bic lighters.
For simplicity sake I just use the bic lighter now, I just leave a small one in my gun box all the time.

Re: Sight blackening
There is the convenience factor of the sprays but nothing is blacker than carbide.. Champion's Choice has the Ray Vin tool..
