FA Mod 83 Express Sights
« on: July 13, 2003, 11:06:15 AM »
I've been shooting Express Sights with brass bead front. I'm looking for an express type front sight with the "tru glow" fiber type bead. I've come up empty handed in trying to find a company that  produces these. The closest I have found was a custom sight maker by the name of "MCC". MCC said they would machine a new front blade and place a piece of tritium encased in a small pvc sleeve. They would take the existing rear sight and place a tritium post in the center of the V notch if there was enough metal there to suport it. If not they would place two tritium bars on the top surfaces of the V. This sounds nice but tritium isn't going to improve my sight picture till it's dark. If anyone knows where fiber type sights can be purchased for this gun or know a custion site maker that will produce these for me, please let me know. I would rather not use glow in the dark paint. I could purchase a rifle type front sight and cut it down myself or have my local machine shop mill it for me, but I'd rather purchase something manufactured for my gun.

Thanks,
Scott
