Fiber Optic Front Sight ?
« on: July 08, 2007, 08:20:24 PM »
  A couple of years ago I had a barrel made by Foxridge Outfitters. At the time they offered a fiber optic front sight option. I ordered my barrrel with a red one and like it. They no longer offer this option on their web site and I wanted to get another sight for another barrel. Anyone know who makes this sight or where I could find one?

I got a fiber rear sight for my old .45 Win Mag Contender barrel and wanted to add a fiber front sight. The front sight was soldered on. I didn't want to unsolder, so i filed it down, drilled two holes in it, and mounted a piece of fiber with steel wire. After a bit of touch up, it doesn't look bad, and shoots just fine. I know this wasn't what you were asking for, but I thought I would at least give you a possible.
