Not sure what you're talking about regarding the bright orange front sight. Any that I've ever seen (and I own a couple) are standard black... Of course mine are branded Remington.




Ah, sorry you never had first hand experience with the orange piece of chewing gum.

As you can see, it is a wonderful eyesore. I believe this may have been Remington's crack team of accountants contribution. Yes, mine also has Remington's script along the side. The harsh flash does nothing to help the looks of this rifle. It's actually very nice.

The previous owner had screwed the orange blob all the way down to where it was completely flush with the threaded recess. I believe there is ample evidence that he did this with his teeth.

I didn't know they'd ever had a steal sight so I went on to EAA's website and was able to order a new front sight. At least I would have a new piece of orange plastic flotsam. It arrived today and low and behold...it's blued steal! I checked the website again and the front sights show "sold out". It may be I have the last steal Remington/Bakail front sight in the free world.





I'm also going to try out Skinner's aperture sights. They're adjustable for both windage and elevation. Just in case you've never seen one of these either, here's a nice pic.
