There were certainly front sights made in a variety of height, insert color, no insert, patridge, etc. also fiber optics from a few sources, some currently still actively available.

Narrower might best be served with some careful milling/grinding, and then re bluing of the current sight?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Just wondering, why do you want a thinner sight blade?  

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I think a wider rear sight gap is what you need perhaps. What stance are you using? That can make a difference. If the front sight is further away it will be narrower.

Are the front sights on a 15-inch shroud any thicker than the one on a 2-1/2" ?
