Front sight for Springfield
« on: November 07, 2003, 04:17:02 AM »
I have a Springfield '03-A3 and want to remove the blade front sight, and install a target-style front sight (like the Lyman 17) with interchangeable apertures.

Does anyone currently make one that fits the '03-A3, or do I need to start looking for a used one?  

I have never removed the front sight.  There is a crosswise pin that you drift out, and then I assume the front sight barrel band just slips off over the barrrel.  How will the new sight attach?  Will there be a dovetail in the barrel for the new sight to fit?
