- The kit is for making or rebuilding colored front sight inserts; it does not include a complete front sight assembly.
- Color options are limited to the included pigments: red, green, orange, yellow, and white.
- Results depend on careful mixing and following the included instructions, so it is better suited to users comfortable with a do-it-yourself process.
