so i was adjusting the front sight post the other day, and rather than invest a few bucks into a front sight tool i used a pen to depress the thing that holds the post in place and i used the pliers part of my gerber multi tool to spin the post to the elevation that i needed. Everything worked fine except the pliers made gouge marks in the post(i wasnt even clamping it down that hard). Anyways of course i had to fix it, so i grabbed a file and sanded it so that the gouge marks were gone. It looks nice now, but the parkerization got filed off a little bit. needles to say this bothers me. A.) what can i do to parkerize this. B.) would it be ok if i applied black paint to the post C.) am i a noobtard for even bringing this up |
So i got to thinking about the paint thing, and although it seems to make sense, i dont think it would stay on there permanently. perhaps i will give the g96 a try. and it is a good idea to spin the post from the detents in the bottom part using a bullet tip rather than trying to clamp the top of the post and spin it that way. thanks again, you guys keep reminding me why i come to this site in the first place.

So let's weigh his options: - Purchase G96, touch up the FSP and be finished. (Having the G96 on hand for future use if needed.) Or....... - Purchase a new FSP, remove the old, perfectly serviceable FSP. Install the new FSP, head to the range then have to re-zero all over again. |
Not to bash gregory, but the post I have is sighted in perfectly(finally) It would be a PITA to start over, and it cant hurt to have a supply of the g96. BTW: quib which g96 do you reccommend, the liquid, the cream or the pen? |
