Buckmark front sight replacement

I would like to replace the front sight on my Buckmark Standard with a truglo type. Does anyone know where I can find a suitable after market sight? I know Browning incorporates a truglo front sight on one of its higher end models.

If memory serves the Buckmark front is sweated on so the Trueglo tube would have to be inserted in the sight. I do fiber optic inserts in front sights. Your local smith may as well. Talk if over with him. If you don't have anyone near you feel free to e-mail me. George

Brownell's sells one:

Not sure what work would be involved in swapping it out though.

Browning itself sells a tru-glo under their own packaging for the Buckmark. Contact them. One note: You will have to elevate your rear sight significantly to get center on at 50'.

I have one and it's great for indoor shooting with my old eyes.
