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.

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.

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.
