A Question For any One About Front Sights
Last week I bought a Reeder Custom Revolver . I have spent lot of time looking on line for this Answer ??
How does the interchangeable front sight work how does it come off . Some one has to have one is it a spring or an small screw that holds it in place . |

Gary Reeder would be the best source of information on that question. He's approachable.

He is approachable.
Some hints for success: 1. Show due reverence. 2. Do not imply ANY criticism whatever. 3. Admit clearly up front that the fault is entirely yours. 4. Apologize for disturbing His Eminence. 5. Repeat 1 & 4 as often as needed. Denis |

Having no idea what he does for front sights, the foregoing advice is the best help I can give you.
Good luck in your quest for information. Denis |

Gary Reeder has his own Front Sight (I think) with interchangeable blades . I was told it has a spring in the front you depress to remove no tools needed . I would of traded the Revolver before I had to call him . |

If you go to his website, there is a forum there you can ask questions. Might be easier than poking the sleeping bear.
