removing pins...

[quarbles]

... from a black gold 5 pin. anybody do this? want to turn my 5 pin into a 2 pin as cleanly as possible. if i had the option to put pins back it wouldn't hurt.

Thats tough, cause you gotta remove the fiber optic, unless you just cut it. But then you wont be able to reattach it for future use. Look into buying a new sight...I switched over to a slider to uncluster the sight window, pins were so close together the blotted out the target which drove me insans...

yeah... having an uncluttered picture is what i'm after. i'm looking at having a 30 pin and a 50 pin (trick pin), that way one can always corroborate position with the other. i find the red pins to be ideal too.... with the green pins i find i catch myself looking at the pin, so i was going to 'pluck' the 2 greens and the orange....
agreed a new sight would be the best route, just isn't in the cards right now.....

Why not just move the pins up or down out of the way and cover them with electrically tape? Like I stated, I went to a slider again to get away from the clutter. Tight pin gaps suck...

the pins still clutter up the bottom. i find them mocking me, and to have only the red pins left would require moving them anyways. unfortunately i'm of a tenacious personality and once i get an idea that i think will work.....
i did get a reply to an email i sent to montana black gold.... he made it sound straight forward. i'm just going to commit to the pour on this one.
