    Garrett Sharps front sight

    Is the front sight blade pinned or pinched in similar to Repro Smith. Tapping on it has not moved it.

    the sight block appears to be brazed/soldered on. Not gonna move. Can you adjust rear sight? If not file it flush, slot it and solder in a new sight

    Garrett Sharps front sight

    It?s definitely slotted. My other Garrett had the front blade replaced when I got it, so not sure how they did it.
