M&P 340 sight upgrade.
M&P 340 sight upgrade.
And there both done. If anyone has a pinned front site J Frame and would like a standard dot tritium front sight let me know. I have two, ones got a few scratches from being removed. Just cover the shipping.
IM sent for a front sight!
Both sights accounted for.
Thank you
I ordered .050" punches and a #54 drill bit from brownells. Drive out the pin. Put a cleaning cloth over the front sight and clamp vice grips to it. Hold the gun sight down over the end of the bench and smack the barrel a few times with a non maring hammer to knock the front sight loose. Scrape out as much of the old loctite as you can. The new sight won't fit. I used a diamond hone for a few swipes on each side until it was a snug press fit. Apply red loctite and use a padded vice to apply pressure for about a half hour ( wipe away whatever oozes out). Then drill halfway from each side and drive the pin back in. I used a hand drill at low to medium speed. One hole is slightly of center, so I kinda mangled the pin a bit, but it's all the way in, I just had to carefully dress the end with the diamond lap to remove a jagged edge.
Just got this 342 back from Dave Lauck. Pictured with my other favorite titanium things.
