Sedalia Dave Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Go to an office supply store and buy a Gold color Sharpie. Use it to paint the blade edge facing you. Or measure the thickness of the front sight and buy a piece of brass stock the same thickness. Remove the front blade and use it as a pattern to fashion a new front sight.

Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I use Krylon Metallic spray paint bright gold stuff and really lasts and fantastic finish. Use it on all our sights R&P both. Just tape off the area and have at it & it dries very fast JRJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 If they still make those tiny bottles of paint for plastic model airplanes and cars, get a bottle of gold and a bottle of thinner. Get a tiny brush. It cleans up with regular thinner, too. Keep it sealed, and it will last a long time. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe West Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You've got plenty of options. If you have a few basic tools around, you can file out your exising rear sight to any width or shape that suits and cut off a piece of round brass stock, use your cut off tool to cut a groove in it and jb weld it to your front sight. That's a cheap easy way to go. I always put a bigger brass sight on the guns I do if the customer wants and cut out the rear sight if they don't want to buy a buckhorn. Once you've got daylight on both sides of your front sight you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
