Just picked up my new Encore this afternoon (SST 270 w/composition stock). Anyway, I am mounting a TC 1.5-5X32 silver scope on the barrel and I have no need for the iron sights. Took them both off. Used two of the stainless base screw plugs to plug the rear sight holes (worked perfectly). BUT, the front sight hole is larger than 6-48. Could someone please inform me of the size of this front sight hole? Then I'll find a stainless plug to put in that one too. Thanks.
