Need new front sight
« on: January 09, 2011, 10:45:23 AM »
Well I think I'm going old school on my new school inline.  I was going to pull the scope off of my smokepole on reinstall the rear iron sight and then proceed to sight it in. So I pulled the gun out of the cabinet and gave it a quick look over and the fiber optic piece that goes in the front sight is missing.  So now I need to replace it some how if I cannot get a replacement for the fiber piece,  so I came here to see what ideas your great minds can come up with.

I'm gonna add to this,  Does anyone know how to remove the front sight base from the cva ecpilse?  i found a sight kit locally that had fiber front and rear sights that are very similar to what I have, but I don't know how, or if the front sight is removeable.

Thank You,
Levi

You can also get replacement fiber optics from your local BP shop.

Well I figures out how to get the front sight off so I will probably go get the kit I seen.  by the time I order the replacement fiber and pay shipping I will probably have pretty close to the same price.  Also the nearest bass pro is like 4 hours away, so that is not an option.  Thanks for the help guys
