I need to replace the bent front sight on my 1895 Win - in 405Win. Gunparts corp (Numrich) has two of them, one taller and a lot more expensive, and without the bead. The $2.95 blade is shorter and with the bead. I am assuming since mine is the 405 I need the taller blade. If that is true - and it is one of my questions, my other one is how do I pull the bead from my existing sight and put it in the new one?
If the shorter blade is OK, and I'm assuming it is the right height for the 30-06 and 30 Govt. rounds, I'll be happy. My guess is that for the 405 I need the taller one. More of a challenge - but probably doable.
For what it's worth I do have the copy of the 'Climbin' Lyman' rear sight on it.
Thanks.
