As topic states. I need some guidance with the replacement of a 14-2 Front sight for use on a 15-2. The 14-2 sight being much too short (yes I tried it). Looks like a tapered Pin thru front sight and rib? Flush on left, imbedded on right. Is this pin indeed directional?

Once removed/replaced, Is there a Problem replacing it Back??

I intend to replace with a 15-2 Front sight blade (non insert style)

Where is my thinking awry?? thank you

Do you already have a new front sight? If not I recommend EKW:

Eric Kovachic's products are top notch! I wish he would start making barrel assemblies again!

I think the roll pin or solid pin goes both ways. Not directional. Never known a DW pin to be directional.

Thanks Much to both of you..

@Ole Dog, I will try the pin...Gently

@ Stmstan 445  , Maybe that one sight with hole in it was intended for a 14-2 Shroud?? Maybe. Would you be interested in offing it??
