On the last Italian Enfield I did the sights were silvered soldered with the highest temp stuff I have ever seen.I had to heat the barrel up to a red hot then whack with a hammer to remove.[barrel was junk on that one]
A method used by many is to file off the existing blade flush with the base.
File or cut a notch into the base and solder in a new blade. New blade should be a snug fit. Soft solder will work just fine
I have found that about .100 is the magic number you need to add to front to make battle sight at 50 yd.
Some use brass,I like steel as it is easy to blacken.
If shooting,fixing,making and thunking were easy.Everyone would be doing it.
There are four types of homicide: felonious, accidental,
justifiable, and praiseworthy.
