    Hey guys, I have a Wingmaster barrel with the front sight missing. It doesn’t look like it was originally threaded so I’m guessing it was pressed in. Either way, it’s missing now and although I have a replacement vent rib barrel I use, this one has sentimental value and I would like to get a new bead installed. My uncle actually glued a BB in it back in the day and it held up for a little while but obviously wasn’t a good permanent fix..
    Thanks for direction on where to go or what to do to fix it.

    His post says Church Hill, which is on the Eastern Shore. That's quite a hike, unfortunately. ;)
