After having major stability issues with a Williams fiber optic front sight on this new-to-me paratrooper, I'm trying to put an original stud back in the front sight, and some sort of traditional-type sight post (either original, or aftermarket).
I just ordered the stud piece a minute ago, and i keep running across these little multi-colored plastic sight posts, and was wondering what the consensus on them was. I realize i can just paint the post with fingernail polish (I have a few done up in neon lime green already) but that stuff really thickens up a sight post, and it's kinda fragile and likes to chip off.
I'm also looking at the Tech-Sights target post, which seems to get good reports, is steel, and is pretty cheap. (now hopefully they don't charge twice what the damn thing costs, just to ship it).
Any good info, advice, warnings,etc. are much appreciated.
