Colt AR 6940 Front Sight Question

I was wondering if anyone knew offhand where I might be able to obtain the pinned folding front sight Colt uses on their 6940 AR?

I haven't been able to find a comparable pinned sight online and thought I would check here before I called the folks at Colt.

Both Brownells and Midway carry an extensive selection of AR parts. Their on line sites as well catalogs illustrate the AR parts and accessories they carry.

That sight assembly is Colt manufactured, not outsourced. Don't expect to find it on any aftermarket manufacturer's sites.

Lots of people make variations of that sight. Here is the one I like the best:

This is the only one I have seen that utilizes taper pins. Not the Colt, but EXACTLY the type I was looking for. THANK YOU!!![:D]
