katit Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I recently got SP01 Shadow custom from CZCustom. Today I lost fiber insert, somehow it just fell out. Didn't find it. It's tiny one (compare to hi-viz on my other guns) What is the size and where do I order replacements? Is there DIY instructions on how to install it? Should I melt it somehow? Thanks!

bugboy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Mine measures 1.5mm. Cut the rod a little long an melt a "blob" on one end, put the rod through the front sight with the blob towards the action, melt a "blob" on the muzzle end to secure it. BE CAREFUL<<<<<< A LITTLE HEAT GOES A LONG WAYS ON THE FO ROD. Brownells, CZ Custom, etc A lot of place sell it,,,, finding lowest shipping cost would be my concern.

Sandbagger123 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) 1mm and 1.5 are the most common in guns. this equals to .040 and .060. You can get 3 ft fiber for cheap at http://www.fiberopticproducts.com/ Instructions http://mp-pistol.com/mp-talk/16797-replacing-fiber-optic-rod-front-sights.html Edited January 31, 2014 by Sandbagger123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katit Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just checked size with my metric drill bits. Seems like it's 1mm in mine. Dawson video explained it. I wish my sight had this chamfer on a back so I can pull it in nicely. $8 for 3ft should last me a lifetime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
