PH Sight Repair

[harry mac]

After a bit of thought Harry, why don't you have a go at repairing them yourself. Start on a clean white sheet and a flat open tin (try the Fray Bentos chicken curry tin. Good curry and megga useful tins when empty too.....) of cleaning fluid. But I digress, Just carefully strip and degrease using a pair of fine snipe nosed pliers to release the lead screw lock nuts. Then carefully reassemble. The main problem seems to be that the elevation lead screw shears away from the thread that secures the thumb screw part..

On assembly, clamp sight to the side of a machining table and use a DTI to check end float and adjust as necessary. It's a doddle........

Problem is, the missing or broken bits. I can usually manage to take most things apart and rebuild them without ending up with "extra" bits. Nothing in my spares box has any of the bits needed, which is anoying.
