Yea but is a Super Wrangler mount the same as a on a Wrangler?

if it takes the same rear sight as a single six then the Alchin GP100 micro mount will fit.
*Single Six , Single ten , Blackhawk and GP100 share the same rear sight.
Cross reference part numbers.

** This Mount is for Reflex sight red dots with the "Docter " footprint =Burris FastFire, Vortex Venom, Viper, and similar **


Happy Shootin!

I tried the EGW mount on mine. It shot very low and I ran out of "up" adjustment long before I was able to get a zero.

I took it off and have yet to get back to it. It needs a little milling to bring it down to the point I can zero it.

From my experience, I can't recommend it but each gun is different so your luck may be different than mine.

Very kind offer TSW. I wish I had recorded how much low it was when the adjustment ran out. I know I was shooting at 10 yds and I remember it being quite a bit low....2"?....but I'm unsure. I'm thinking that it would be helpful since then I could do some math to figure out how much the mount had to be "tipped" or milled on the front contact area of the base. Basically have to ramp the base of the mount.

I thought I had a way but it would not be as neat as a pro would do it for sure. If I could get some numbers for you in the relatively near future would you be still be interested?

I did put some Williams sights on it which really helped my accuracy. I've shot it enough now that I think that there is a little more inherent accuracy left in the gun that I'm not able to get with opens.

Have a great day my friend.

Good advice but my education in red dots told me not all sights have mounts that fit so be weary of your sight choice. It's easier to replace the sight than the gun.
