Did you modify the front sight for the fiber optic?
Yessir. Ground off the old, integral, red insert front sight, milled a longitudinal eighth inch slot an eighth inch deep, bead blasted the surface, then epoxied the HiViz into the slot.

I’ve found those cockamamie original red insert front sights to be next to useless for precision shooting. The HiViz offers the bright fiber optic for quick work in poor light, and the crisp, clear sight picture of sharp, flat black corners and edges for precision.

Every day’s an adventure.
