A couple of replies ago, Dave mentioned that the front sight never comes off on Series 80 GC. Well, there is an exception to every rule! I was scoring like doggy-do-do at PPC last fall and couldn't figure out why. Then I heard a rattle and found the front sight was falling off. We tried staking and gluing w/epoxy as a temp. fix and that of course, worked loose agin as was eveident by my scores. Marianne Carniak had a old front sight from her Dad that she had custom made at her favorite machine shop and installed it. It is a dovetail that is paralllel to the barrel rather than perpendicular. This was due to the large tenon as was shown earlier. If I can get a digital camera I will get a picture but I got to tell you, it is a sweet job. The installation in perfect and the gun is a tack driver again. Great work at a great price. I think it was $75.00 including the one of a kind, custom machined sight!
For those that don't know Marianne, She is Accurizer Gun Shop in Troy, MI.
