Southpaw Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I have a few guns with fiber optic rear sights that I'd like to black out. Does anyone make black fiber optic rods or some other kind of black filler I can stick in the holes where the fiber optic rods go? I tried a Sharpie on it and that works ok, but I can still see the dots a little. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo2011 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I filled some holes with a strand I cut off a kitchen broom until I could change out the rear sight on a pistol I bought once. It worked fine short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Try painting the rear sight with Testors Flat Black Modeling paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Neat! I use a Birchwood Casey black paint pen. Didn’t know black fiber existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
