Single Six Loose Sight Pin

[gr8guns]

My Bisley has a small problem.The pin that secures the rear sight to the frame works out. It is not long enough to brad, I was thinking maybe a slight bend in it could help keep it in place. That should be easy enough. Before I do that, though, I thought I would check with more experienced people here. Ideas ?

Yes, a slight bend should fix the problem. It's not uncommon.

Yep, as noted above,, many of us just push the pin out about 1/3rd of the way, tap it GENTLY to one side,, just barely enough to put a SLIGHT bend in it. Then we tap it back in place. Problem solved.

the trick is to try and keep at least a bit of the pin still "inside" the outer edge of the rear sight body, so the "bend" does NOT interfer with tapping it back into the sight body itself, not "chew" up the edge...NEATNESS counts!!!
