[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Colt SP1 Front Sight Question

Posted: 4/30/2009 1:59:17 PM EDT

Just got around to sighting in an SP1 Colt that I picked up recently. I went to adjust the front sight post with my trusty AR15 sight tool, but it won't fit.
Tool has 4 notches, Colt front sight has 5 notches. Is this an A1 vs A2 front sight thing?

My options?

Are there 5 notch sight adjusters somewhere?
Will it swap out with a modern Ar15 front sight post?

Sp1's have round front posts. Later have square posts.

You need an A1 sight tool. 5 prongs front, 5 prongs rear. Or a bullet tip

Here you go....$7.00. I had to buy both; one of the SP1 and one for later rifles. I know you can use a bullet tip, but these make it so much easier for lazy guys like me.
