rear sight problems 625

[SW CQB 45]

Well I finally got the courage to tackle the rear sight and it has been nothing but problems.

first, I guess I screwed the blade the wrong way and when the screw broke, I could not turn the broken screw shaft to get the rear blade out.

luckily, I just drove a screw driver tip down on the spanner nut with a hammer and created and notch. whewwww, lucked out there.

then I grab my repair kit from Brownells, and I cannot get the old detent in the screw head hole. so I grab a new one out of the bag and it wont fit in the hole either.

I do a little measuring and the hole is .05" too small, so I get out my drill to make the hole a tad larger.

then I find out the hole is too short as the detent wont go below flush, so I drill it deeper.

I go to test fit the detent, and IT WONT COME OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got sold a dud part and tried to fix and wasted my time!

When you break the screw, the screw and flange must be replaced as a set. The flange gets staked so it doesn't unscrew.
I got the notes and pictures in the FAQ.
Good luck with it

I got sold a parts kit and the windage screw detent hole was not drilled correctly.
