    My girl has a missing eye

    So I just picked up my new baby and I realized one of her sights is messed up! I somehow glanced over this when I picked her up. What can I do to fix this? She is brand new.

    White paint or white out.
    also can use any coler sharpie you want
    or paint pens are sold at any crafts store
    Any of these will work fine.

      Even a sharp white crayon will work.

        I got some hobby paint and painted mine orange. Depends what you want to do but it's am easy fix whatever color you decide. Toothpicks work well.

          Is there a night sight tube missing on the right?

            Believe it or not, white nail polish works pretty well.

            I used it to highlight the heel stamp lettering on my m14.

              nope, they are just regular dovetail sights. I haven't thought about night sights yet, I'm thinking about keeping it stock.... for awhile at least

                Model paint with a toothpick, a tiny dab will fill that void up and allow to dry overnight, good to go.

                If you are really in a rush to fix it, a white crayon will do the trick short term.

                    Sharpie oil-based paint.

                    I have used it before and it works

                      could just be oil in there. When I used to work for an FFL, many sites came like that. Poked it and cleaned out with a tooth pick and it was ok.

                          I use the bright orange or green acrylic phosphorescent paint from the Wally world craft section its cheap enough to do a bunch of sights works pretty good after multiple applications works well in combination with with a flashlight even holds a glow for a short time afterwards if you hit it up with a one.

                            Had that problem with my Beretta 92. Nothing a carefully applied dab of model paint can't fix.

                              Bro...no offense, but I'm having a difficult time trying to decipher what it is that you wrote there. In the end you totally lost me.
