Size of model 81 OEM bead on front sight

Post by hallster346 »

Hey guys I have had my model 81 for a little while and I absolutely love it but the the sight that came with it is extremely hard to see (its a blade style aftermarket sight) and wanted to put the orginal front and rear sight back on it. I actually found a complete rear sight but the front sight I cant find anywhere. I am completely fine with having one made by williams or another company but I want it to be the same size as the factory original. I called remington to see if they had a schematic that gave the size dimensions but they didn't have one. Do any of you all know the height and width of the bead front sight on a remington model 81 so I can order an exact one from williams?

I'm going off memory, but I once used the following as a direct dimensional replacement for a factory 81 front sight...
