    I have a Montana Black Gold sight (pretty sure an older Flashpoint or similar, it was pre-UV plastic on top) that I really enjoy, however, the sit pins always end up covering up a ton of my target. I was looking at changing them out and going with a .010 if it's possible. Anyone have an idea how I go about doing it? Do I replace the fiber as well as the pins? Is a pain in the rear to do so?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't have the specifics you're looking for. I've always had luck sending the company an e-mail.
    That said, all my pins are .010 and I love them. Working with the little optic lines are a total pain. Be patient and take your time.

    Heard back from Black Gold, replacement pins come with the appropriate fiber. I'm hesitant to make the purchase now though, because I have four pins and each costs $12 to replace. I was hoping to buy a dovetail as well, but combined that would be about $150 at which point I might as well save up and get a Spot Hogg Hogg-It.
