Made a Fiber Optic front sight for Compact .22

Was easy. Watched some YouTube videos on fiber optic front sights. Drilled out the front sight using a 3/64 bit. Used the Dremel to cut out the top to allow light in. Used a piece of leftover fiber optic from the kit I got from Dawson Precision when I bought and installed a fiber optic front sight on a Glock. heated up a box cutter blade and used it to seal the ends of the fiber optic after I slid it in the hole. Works great! Took me about 30 minutes; was very careful and went slow. Here's some pics:

Cool. Can you get a better shot of the cutout? It looks like the camara was focused on the towel.

Crappy cell pic...can't figure it out but I'll see if my wife or daughter can.

Very nice. I was thinking about a night sight for my 22c. Are they available?

To my knowledge, nobody is making a set of replacement sights of any type for the 22c.

very nice job. and this can be done on most models

Not being a SD gun not many people would buy night sights for a 22LR. Well unless they were shooting critters at night.

Outstanding job on the front sight. Very well done.

Good news! Dawson Precision just released a bunch of replacement sights for the 22 Compact. Black, fiber optic, and tritium. Even suppressor height.

I ordered a set of the plain rear/FO front. Got my shipping notice today (same day I ordered). When they come in, I'll do a complete set of pictures and review.
