Looks like he's out of the 1.5s. Anyone try the 1.47mm vials?

Put my vials in today.  The rear sights went well, simply used a paper clip to push the old out and the new in.  The front sight was another story, tried everything I could think of to get that vial out, finally it come out.  I cleaned the hole out and then tried putting the new one in, but it wouldn't fit, the hole was to small. I found the smallest bit that I had and started reaming the hole out and then I heard crushing glass. It seems the old vial broke in half, so I'm sure my work room will get an unannounced visit from the NRC now.  I finally got the hole cleaned out and the new vial slipped right in.  Got to get some silicone to seal them in and it is done.  The vials glow nice and bright, can't wait to go shoot at night with it now!!!!

I used these to replace the worn paint.

Did that work for you? Or, is there another method?
