Have you tried searching Numrich?I had white spherical bead fall out while hunting. Any thought as to where to purchase the bead by it self and just glue back in .08 diameter???
it will only look like crap and fall out again. Buy a new front sight and install it.I had white spherical bead fall out while hunting. Any thought as to where to purchase the bead by it self and just glue back in .08 diameter???
Good idea!Sometimes you can get lucky.
Look for some of those plastic headed pins at a sewing supply store. I've seen some used as replacement beads and the size match was perfect.
Otherwise, go the gunsmith route.
Just thought I would let you know it took me a while to find same diameter .1 Just epoxied in yesterday looks original. Thanks for the idea.Sometimes you can get lucky.

These actually work very well. I still have the bead on my double barrel but it was very hard to pick up when upland bird hunting and something like a woodcock or grouse is flushed. I can hardly miss with this thing in place.If you can't find a replacement bead, try one of these until you do...
