the huntsman and sidekick barrels both use Williams gun co. firesights, give them a call and they should send you a replacement filament for free, thats what they did for me anyways. their number is 1800 530 9028

Tackleberry.....Let me know what you find out.......I tried to get a replacement too as mine is the same way.....I called Williams gun co. and they asked me to describe the front site to them, so I told them that my sight was 2 piece plastic front site dovetailed together......they said it is a tru glow as thier sites are not plastic.....can anyone confirm this? I need to get that filament replaced so that I can use this barrel......Hope you get your filament replaced......

Thanks

called Williams and they are sending replacements...he will ask a couple of questions like did the front site have two rings or three (determines the diameter) ...but bottom line he is sending out two pieces (one small diameter, one larger) and explained how to install them...great service!!!!!!!

Williams sent two different filiments (since I didn't know which size I had) and instructions for installation. These arrived within 5 days and I installed without problem. Back in Business. Thanks to Williams for fine product support!!!

Does Williams make the Plastic ones? My gun is around 2003. What other sights made of metal have you used?
