Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a standard sight bead option, so it is intended for a specific front-sight setup rather than a universal fit.
- The product title lists a 1/8" bead, 3-56 Tpi, and 5/32" shank, so compatibility should be checked carefully before ordering.
- The red plastic bead is one of several Bradley configurations mentioned; if you need a different color or brass version, this exact listing may not match.
- Sold as a 3-pack, which may be more than needed for a single replacement job.
