I posted about this on the MilPro section, but I thought I'd bring it to the smithies.
I got a set of the William's dovetail fire sights for my PT111. The rear Heinie sight came off with a hair dryer and a few taps of a punch, and the new fire sight went on with no problems.
To my surprise, the front Heinie sight is secured with a different size allen bolt than the rear. I don't have a metric allen set and that bolt is larger than my smallest allen key, and smaller than my second smallest... so I assume it's metric.
Is that the case? And does anyone happen to know what size allen key I'll need? And why would they use a different size allen bolt on the front?
Thanks in advance.
