Metric front sight??

[nycstlrr]

I am assuming that the Spanish barrels use a metric front sight. The one I took off measures .355 and 3/8 is .375. Checked with Dixie and everything is 3/8. Anyone seen any metric ones any place? I know I can just resize the 3/8 I have but was hoping someone had a lead on a metric one.
Thanks

Check Track of the Wolf. The have sights with various size dovetails. Part #FS-D37-1 looks like it might work.

This store has them. They have some items TOW doesn't carry.

Or you can just whackem down to the right size with a file. Takes about 2 minutes, and gives you a much wider choice of styles.

I have one all ready to file down. Just wanted a back up incase I screwed it up..........

If your worried about screwing it up make sure you file the sight and not the barrel dovetail. It`s a lot easier to get another $10 sight than to fix a barrel screw up when ya accidentally cut the dovetail too big :redface:

Been working on it. Dang brass keeps plugging my file..... Oh for the good old days when I could have took it to work and milled it off.

If you have any of the old fashioned chalk or chalk for a snap line, coat the file teeth with a light layer of it.

That will keep the teeth from "loading up".

If it's a CVA check here;

Parts would probably also fit Traditions, Ardessa, etc.

Thank you for the info everyone! Really appreciate it. I just have to remember that there are other places out there besides Dixie.......

Too bad the USA doesn't use the metric system as do other industrial countries.....would be a lot easier than the "goofy system" we now use.

It would take all of 15 mins to file the sight for a nice press fit into the metric dovetail......Fred
