Dawson front sight install

ZMan57 · Nov 10, 2015

Hi, everyone,

I am about to install - I hope ; ( - a Dawson fiber optic front sight on my 686+ 2 1/2"...

What size roll pin punch do I need to drive out the roll pin that's retaining the front sight?
Any tips?..

Thanks in advance!

PS: I'd add to insert the new blade in the mount slot & mark where the pin holes are by lightly/carefully drilling thru the mount holes. Then remove the blade & clamp it in a vise & finish by drilling each side partway, until you're thru, to minimize the chance of enlarging the mount holes & having a loose fitting pin.
