No, Sir, but the Tech Sights are the way to go and they aren't that much more - 55 to 69 FRNs.

You can find them here:  http://www.tech-sights.com/

And there's always a group buy on 'em going on here:  http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=3497.0
"Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves.  Sad alternative!  But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" - George Washington - from a letter to a close friend after the events of April 19, 1775

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow.  Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.  From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.  I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837

wcmartin1 is right if you can afford them the tech sights are the way to go

The tech sights really are the way to go.  Cost might be an issue but the results are worth it.

You get the same sight picture (for reduced distance training) that you'll have with and AR, M1, M1A, FAL, etc.  You get the advantage of a front sight that adjusts for elevation (at zeroing) like and AR and uses the same sight tool as the AR.  The rear sight adjusts for windage just like the M16A1's and uses the same sight adjustment tool.

Once you get the sights and get a 1&1/4" GI sling on it it'll fool you when you get slung up in it and start shooting.  It'll fool you into thinking you're snuggling up to an M1 or M1A. ;D

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

It is not up to me as to what type of sights it is up to my dad.
He is what you would call stubborn, and CHEAP.
He says that the TECH SIGHTS are and I quote "to much to add to this type of rifle".
I hope have one of my parents let me get the sights.
If I can't get a parent to get them for me, any one know of a good part time job in the Irvine area of Orange County, CA.

THANK YOU

Biscuit,
There are plenty of stores in need of seasonal help for December.  Apply to a nearby store, work for a month, and buy the tech sight plus beaucoup ammo. 
Here's the selling point:  Work for a specified period.  Buy Tech Sights, 5000 rounds of ammo, and save the rest "for college".  Reinforcing your personal growth, present situation, and future all at once.

Biscuit, tell him a good gunsmith with nothing to gain either way told you the smart thing is to spend the extra $15 and buy the Tech Sights. I have several 10/22's set up with them, and they are so much better than the Williams, and so you know, I happen to like Williams sights.

Add that the gunsmith is one of those cheap Yankee's up in Northern New England to boot.
They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . . ".  Lord Percy

Sounds like New Englanders to me.

Biscuit -

Someone mentioned the "GROUP BUY" to you.  An added benefit is that with the group buy Tech Sights give us a 15% discount.  So a basic set of tech Sights for 10-22 won't cost much more that $40 bogey you had in  mind.

Here is a link to the discounted prices.

ARC should be starting up another buy (GB4) very soon.  I believe Group Buy 3 (GB3) is complete and ready to send off to Tech Sights.

I put a set on my 10/22 recently.  You won't regret the investment.
