not sure what I wanna do about the rear sight desu
the rivets on it are stuck and bent so drilling them out is gonna be a pain
doing a tack weld is a good idea but it would mean fucking the finish on it, though I'm already refinishing pretty much every other part of the gun to make it match so whats the harm
I'm also not entirely sure how to drift the front sight for windage, its held in by a little dovetail and its round shape makes it impossible to hold in a vice for punching
best i can find is a williams front sight pusher but its pretty expensive so I'd prefer something cheaper
>deformation
it shouldnt be directly load bearing I believe, since the trunnion is what takes most of the forces, but I'm a little worried about the threading at the back of it which a cap screws on over that acts as the recoil spring, I dont want it to lock up
