Title: I did a little customization to my Warbird FF3 protector mount
Post by: lunghit on June 26, 2025, 03:53:34 PM
I received my Warbird protector mount for my Burris FF3 a few weeks ago. I absolutely love the mount but I did not like how it covered the 4 posts that help secure the sight to the base. Basically the only thing holding the fastfire and protector to the base is 2 screws instead of 6 points of contact.

What I did was build up the 4 posts with JB Weld and filed them to fit the FF3. Those 4 posts are extremely strong and will add some extra insurance from getting bumped.

Also just got my trigger back from the gunsmith and it's a perfect 3.5 pounds! Making dedicated turkey guns is fun.

Nice. What brand cheek pad is that?

Here you go. It adds just the right amount of height to the comb for a good sight picture on a red dot.

Thanks Tom. How was your season? I got an opening day bird upstate NY and then struck out with the bow.
