Although you are replying to a 3 year old thread, great instructions! Question. Why do you leave the new blade in the gun when you drill the new pin hole? Isn't there a danger of damaging the front sight base? Why not remove the front sight blade and drill it outside of the gun?

Second question. Older guns have a solid pin. Would this make any difference to your instructions?
