Default Front Sight Pin

I need a front sight pin for a Model 14. All I can find are too short. Needs to be 0.055” diameter and about 0.57” to 0.58” long. I have checked with Numrich, Midway and Jack First. Any suggestions where else I might look? Thanks in advance.

I have made the pins from the shank end of drill bits, a number 54 drill is .055".

A Dremel tool with a cut off wheel works to cut and shape the drill into a pin.

That’s what I plan to do if I can’t come up with one.
