	I have two rifles with sight issues. First, is a new-to-me Borchardt rifle. The sight staff and disk are Sharps, but the threaded screw may not be -and it is missing the little knurled knob for adjustment. The front sight is off my Farrow rifle. I have the adjustment knob and it looks like the threaded portion was turned down and pinned in place. How to remove the threaded portion and fit a new one is beyond me. If anyone has suggestions for a machinist that can do fine work, please share. Thank you, Joe D

	I have tried to repair stuff like that and I found sights sometimes have some weird thread pitches so If you can't find taps and dies it becomes difficult. Single point threading small stock is difficult even on a good day. Not saying it can't be done it's just difficult. You need the right equipment. Yours can be repaired I am sure. If Tony can't help you I'll bet he can tell you who can... JMH

	Lee Shaver took my unreadable Pedersoli tang and re engraved the markings. Joe Do... wrote on May 31^st, 2026 at 12:10pm: I have two rifles with sight issues. First, is a new-to-me Borchardt rifle.
