This is for the front sight that came in the gray case as a set from Browning.
Thanks

Have you tried here...They may just be able to help you out as it does say that they have replacement parts available?

Advance Manufacturing, in Utah, is the OEM supplier of Browning sights. They offer replacement tubes. As far as I could find out, their's are the only ones that will fit in the browning front sight. I purchased vials directly from them and found the service to be excellent.

They are, however, difficult to replace. Now might be the time to go to the Lee Shaver with the vial enclosed in the sight.

I'm guessing that machinists who build sights don't produce their spirit level vials...but acquire them from some other source.

You might be able to do the same, if you know the dimensions of the vial you want to replace.

Here is one example of finding a supplier with a Google search.

BullShop,

I've had many discussions with AMT (also known a AET) concerning their sights. They steadfastly refuse to reveal the source of the vials they purchase. The supplier with the closest vial dimensions I could find was the same company noted by CM (W.A. Moyer Company).

If you can get AMT to share their supplier with you, I for one would be very interested. Tony Barney is the guy at AMT that is responsible for their sight sales and parts.

Dan This may not work. If you can find one of those tiny glass bottles that Carter's Little Liver Pills came in (most here wont remember them but a bunch will--they really did exist--I don't think so anymore) and take a big mouthfull of soap--probably be easier to use liquid dishwashing soap--fill the bottle almost full of water then blow a smalll bubble into it while it is being held under water. This is to keep air from entering . Of course you'll have to stick your head under water. Now put the cork in it while it's under water. This was a test. I had no reason to want to tell Dan this. Just wanted to see if I could tell someone to go soak their head without getting moderated.
