modified front site

[hardluk1]

I have a one of the front sites from henning that my old bad eyes could not still see well so after some time i called and henning send me some of the large diameter red inserts that would be used in the stock ,short front site not knowing if they would work or not in hennings site. I drilled the ,090 wide site he makes with a 1/16" bit and then filled and polished off the edges so there is a minimum of material left and when the tip is heated it is as wide as the site itself. I will try this tomorrow in my area indoor range as the light is far from good on the line to see if it helps me. very bright in normal conditions. Drilled the rear site to but could not get enough light to the red insert with out more work so just put som flouresent paint on it for now.
