Default Model 63 Front Sight Question

I saw a Model 63 with a pinned fiber optic front sight. Are all 63 front sights pinned?

I'm looking at mine. It has the red plastic insert on a raised ramp. I cannot see any pins so I haven't the faintest idea how its held in. Mines serial number is in the M108XXX range.

Saw a new one at the LGS tonight that had a pinned fiber optic. First I'd noticed.

Thanks guys!

I just saw one at the LGS with a pinned front FO site and that's why I asked. I don't remember the older 63's being pinned.
