Yes, I have one in the front sight however I have not removed it yet. I will haul it out and take a closer look.

I have a box of mixed front sight elements, as I am sure other members have. If we had your element dimensions, we might be able to help.

Sorry. I have just been through about 20 different elements: I seem to have four different types but none of them are like yours.

Fred, I have a few here myself however the Swedes in their infinite wisdom seem to have opted for a completely odd size and although I have some that are the correct diameter none have the bottom register.
