Great shooting!! Boy oh boy is that not one of the nicest Silvers I've seen. What happened to the original front sight or did you paint it to give it some contrast?

The front sight was replaced for some reason in the past before I got it. Probably got bent or broke I guess. The replacement front sight was black from a blue streak and the finish was kinda funky from the heat of soldering it on, so I just masked it off good and painted it black. I would have no idea how to re nickle plate just the front sight like original, probably not possible without doing the whole thing.
It works for me, less glare and same sight picture as my blue streak.

Yea it looks awesome like that. Black safety cap, front end cap, handguard, front and rear sight. Really gives it a nice looks.
