.750 is correct. I have never seen or heard of a Colt pencil barrel that did not use this size. It may not be EXACTLY .750 but that's what they were made for, Colt pencil barrels.

Just measured three pencil barrels that I have, two are FNMI, one is a Colt, and all three measure .625 under the front sight, between the taper pins. My Colt HBAR and my Knight SR-15 M4 profile both measure .750 in the same place.

I had some, but sold the uppers. I was told that those site bases were tougher to come by, by a good source, making me think they were smaller than the standard size. I would go with the .625 guess.

My pencil thin Colt and Bushmaster barrels are .625 under the sight. I believe that Bushmaster states this on their web site. I've asked them if I could purchase this smaller front sight individually. They told me that this wasn't an option.
Thanks.....Chad |
