Bought one from here: http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/forumdisplay.php?108-WTS-Other-Personal, hopefully I'll get it in a few days.

It may actually be too bright.

Where are you guys getting the bases for these?

ETA: would one fo these work? compact size

I'm considering bundling a bunch of 1mm strands together on one end and attaching that to the light input on the sight, then arranging the other ends flat on the surface in front of the sight.

As this crude illustration shows.

Which mount will I need for the optic to clear the A2 FSB?

Thanks

Yep, I plan to use a short piece of clear tubing to bundle the strands on the one end. The rest of the length will be bare and spread out to gather as much light using the shortest length possible.

I'm thing of doing the same on the top, a short piece of clear tubing with a bunch of 1/2 in to 3/4 in 3mm strands inside to gather light and channel it toward the glass.

Just ordered one. I have some 40 tubes from a broken bow sight. I'll post results once it's up and running.

I'm glad to see pics of other sights being posted. I'm curious to see how other members were able to manage their fiber optics. Does anyone know of a better adhesive or epoxy to use? Anything that cures or dries clear and without a mess?

Not so much a hole, as a window for light entry. Front should work best with 1mm / 0.040 rod in color of your choice.

Ok, bare in mind I've not seen one in person yet, but what about taking a small tritium rod and puttying it against that circle? You would actually be blocking the sunlight from entering, but you would have a constant light source pressed uP against it. Then the putty would be painted black on the outside to try and blend it in with the rest of the unit. ???? Thoughts????

Based on what I can see with my Tritium gun sights, I don't think the Tritium is going to be bright enough in daylight to really do anything. I had an old Glock tritium front sight laying around that I tried to put up against the glass to see what would happen ––- nothing.

I put a flashlight up to the top hole to see what would happen (the hole on top of the sight). Lit up the night tiime "T" reticle real well, but there was so much light reflecting around inside the glass that you couldn't actually see through it any more - all you saw was the reticle.

I think the fiber is still the way to go. Also, the little shelf in front of the light window on the front is made of delrin or something similar - it does not take many adhesives well. Super glue worked best for me, but you need to take care to keep it away from the fibers as the super glue will corrupt the plastic in the fiber. In essence, I super glued the double sided mounting tape to the shelf, then put the fiber on the mounting tape, then epoxied the fiber to the mounting tape.

You're welcome. It's been fun watching the thread.

I took my M&P 15-22 to the range this morning. I shot a 5 round, 1.5" to 1.6" group at 50 yards with the little reflex sight. The ammo was CCI .22LR 40gr Standard Velocity. I did not think that group was too shabby for no magnification and a doughnut shaped reticle that is 2.5x to 3x times bigger than the circle I was shooting at. I quit shooting paper after that and started shooting 1/5th scale pig swingers at 50. Below is my target and rifle again.
