S&W front sight orange insert
Does any one make diffrent colors for the front sight insert. I think a flat black one would be good for me.

A sharpie or testers flat black paint will get you there.
and most local smiths can replace it with a flat black insert

I had King's install a black insert on my M63 and it
is the easiest of my Baughman-sighted S&Ws to see in all conditions except the dark.
I had Andy Horvath make me a new front sight..but any
'smith should be able to replace the insert.

Many years ago, they made a front sight insert kit with assorted colors. I don't know if they still do.

Thanks Jack. Just what I need if they still stock it.

for testing there is the plastic spoon trick
Get a plain ordinary picnic plastic spoon and light it on fire. It will burn with a dark sooty smoke. You can run the sight through that smoke a few times well above the flame and it will leave a sooty deposit on the sight that will blacken it. If you decide this is what you want then just get some flat black paint to put on it. Either of these can be cleaned off in the future if need be.

Sounds like a plan. Thank you.
