Rear Sight Repairs
« on: September 14, 2012, 03:45:38 AM »
    Hoping I can get some ideas on doing repairs to some rear sights.  1. How does one put the white diamond back on a Marble's sight blade?  2. I have a Marble's folding sight that is missing the spring to hold it upright.  Where can I get one or what can I use and how do you get it in place?  3.  I have a sight with a stationary blade and one folding blade, no markings to indicate manufacturer.  The folding blade is loose and there doesn't seem to be a place to put a spring nor is there a screw to tighten for tension.  Any ideas?  Thanks a lot ahead of time.  You guys are great.  ;)   Peshtigo

Usually the diamond was just paint that was  baked on.. Marbles is still in business so perhaps they can help with the spring. The sight thats loose and unidentified will likely have to be repaired or replaced. The spring is usually located beneath the blade that is accessed by removing the blades pivot pin..
