installing fiber optic rods... how to best do it ???
is there a general type directions for replacing fiber optic rods ???
I'm building a couple custom fiber optic sights, & ordered a set of replacement fiber optic rods, to use for my sights... they'll need to be cut, & I think ( heated ??? ) to mushroom the ends ( I was hoping replacement directions would have came with them, but they did not ) I want the most light transmission possible, so I'm sure there are better ways ( or the best way ) to do this over others... any suggestions ???

Polishing after cutting will help light transmission greatly. If you want a larger selection check McMaster-Carr supply house (obviously on line, use a search).....
