03A3 front sight and pin

[Char-Gar]

What size pin is used to hold the 03A3 front sight blade in? I also need a blade. Anybody have a blade and pin for sale or trade?

If no one has one, you can find them here.

They have all the goods.
I have a rear sight if you need one.

Dang, I've had a few out and never measured but I think they are about 1/16. I have made those pins for different sights out of a nail/brad. Just go to my two or three misc. nail catch-all boxes and pick one out. Most nail material is just the right temper for those pins. The front sight blade on the 03/03A3 is .050 thick. Just cut and file one out of .050 sheet metal, drill the pin hole, insert pin and presto!

And yes I think Numrich(e-gunparts) as docone31 suggested has the blades.

405... Sometime the simple solution excapes me. I have one of those nail/brad boxes and should be able to find something that fits. Thanks.

if you use a panel nail the one with the little rings it perfect and stays in with out peaning
also the end of a havk saw blade that has the hole works for the blade. If you what to make it look like a factory one set the rolled area on a file and tap with a hammer It will put the grooves in it like the original has
