The folks at Night Fision address one of the most common questions we get around here. With the infinite combinations of guns and optics footprints, how is one supposed to figure out the pieces and parts they need? You might be familiar with Night Fision from their broad offering of sights of all types, along with slide kits including sight, optic and slide bundles.
