kian2006 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I would like a larger fiber optic front sight for my legion. Factory is nice but I just want a larger diameter, should I drill out or where to get something larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARRYJ Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The sight comes from Dawson Precision. Check their website. They do sell a larger diameter insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twong11219 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The effort to widen that 0.04" exposed channel to 1/16" (0.06") is just not worth it. You can file away the channel and just drill out the end holes to 1/16", but your FS and FO will be prone to damage easier if you snag a barrier. Have you tried just heating the FO end a bit more till you get the blob of a dot you want? I've seen plenty of botched big dots from overheated thin FO using a lighter at a match.

Boomstick303 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Dawson is you best bet. You can get all kinds of different size and heights. https://dawsonprecision.com/dawson-precision-sig-p320-fiber-optic-front-sights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
