im seeing a lot of front beads like this on a lot of 42's. my question is, im not familiar with glow worm sights. are they glued on or staked in? im just curious if the old bradley hole is used or if its just plugged when this type site is used. thanks.

    is that a hole or is it glued on?
    next, if that glow sight was removed and a bradley installed, would it be the same location as a factory bead? it looks too far back for some reason.

    Bob; the glow worms ive seen have all been threaded. Brownells still sells them.

    Bob: the base to the "glow worm" has two protusions, forward and aft,(remember that Bob, that's front ant back) Any way they act like a spring clip. It pulls right off. then you could put your bradly bead anywhere you want!
