TRU-GLOW broken off

How do you change a tru-glow front sight on a BLACK DIAMOUND ? Where can I find one ?

Do you want to just change the color of the fiber optics or do you want to remove the entire sight?

Is there a color choice ?

Just look at Cabela's. I have found many sights at their stores for the Black diamond--I was looking for some for mine.

I bought an in-line with broken off fiber optic sights and recently put new ones on. Tru-Glow had the front and rear in a package for $49 at Bass Pro and it came with screws for TC, Knight, Remington, and Traditions. I just used my screws that were on the gun and it all fit nicely. They are brighter than my other gun with scope. I use these as a back up on a close shot with see thru bases on the scopes. It's worth a shot anyway. I think Sportsmanguide sells them seperate if you just need the front sight.

Did just the fiber optic break?
When my fiber optic broke on my 12 ga, local archery shop had the right diameter optic material. I pulled out the broken fiber, cut a piece slightly larger than the blade, slid new piece in, and used a hot knife to slightly melt/expand the ends. Worked fine till it gotbumped again. I gave up and put a red dot on it. thinking of putting one (red dot) on my new Omega.

RMC Sports sells great Fibre Optic Sights for $29. I have their regular, but am buying this one since my rear sight is blurry.

Thanks chap, It really did'nt cost me anything as I had some gift cards to burn from the holidays. The ones I got had a rear interchangable peep that you could swith out so you look through a circle peep with fibers and line up the front fiber. I have never seen fibers so bright before and I am thinking about buying another set for my other guns. I always scope my guns but two years ago I shot a doe at 5 yards and had to use my open sights, luckily I have my scopes mounted high so I can see under in case they come in close.
