Fiber Optic Size for CVA Durasight?

[eric001]

I didn't see anything when I looked for this with INGO search... Anyway, I need to replace the red fiber optic strand in the front sight on my Wolf. Does anyone have any idea what diameter that red strand is? I think it's silly to replace the whole front sight, as everything but the red strand is in great shape on mine. Either my google-fu has become weak, or maybe everyone else just replaces the whole sight--dunno. What I did find is several different diameters of fiber optics that I could use, but I'm not in the mood to guess, as I almost always end up guessing wrong.

Any insight (get it??) would help immensely!

Apparently, nobody here has ever had this problem... Does anyone happen to have a Wolf with this kind of sight and a caliper? If I had an accurate way of measuring the blasted thing, I'd have done so already.

I know what you are talking about. I have seen this done on other pistols and rifles. But I'm sorry to say I don't know the specifics of your firearm. Is the manufacturer still in business? (not familiar with "Wolf") If so, maybe you could contact them directly.

Typically small pistol fiber optic is 1 mm and 1.5 mm
Rifle/shotgun are in the 2 mm area.
Here is a guy that sells all 3 sizes:

CVA's proprietary Durasight fiber optic strand is small--too small to accurately measure with a ruler. Aside from not seeing a suitable "generic" fiber optic piece at Gander (I actually took a CVA Wolf with this sight on it over to the aisle with the replacement FO stuff for comparison), that's all I know for sure about the actual diameter. Sadly, I've tried pretty much every keyword I know and cannot come up with any actual specs for it online.
