les Baer front site

[Bear23]

Anyone know the size of the cut of a les baer TR front site. Looking to put a brazos or Dawson up front. Thinking of George's new Novak cut adjustable rear from EGW. What height do i need as well?

Give Bob or George a call. Either of them should know the answers.

Didn't mean to leave out Dave. You cant go wrong with any of them.

Les Baer offers a FO sight option on some of their models, so you might just get one from them.

I have experimented with both. The Dawson is brighter.

All you have to do is call Dawson and tell them it's for a Baer. They'll send you the one you need.

thanks for the replies. I really just wanted to know the measurements of the cut. I like the brazos or the EGW sites, Dawsons are fine too. If anyone has the adjustable rear novak, what height of site do you have up front?

Just so you know at least on my older PII the factory front sight is pinned on and the hole does not go through the slide so you basically have to destroy the front sight to remove it unless you drill the pin away I guess. I just hit mine with a punch until it came off. I takes some effort.
