Lost the info to a company in AZ that was taking on this kind of work. Can someone direct me in the right direction?

Thanks

I had two done by a local machine shop. I prepped the metal, then set them up in the correct postion, and clamped in place.
Cost me $40 for the pair.

I also had a local guy weld mine.   Any go tig welder can do it.

Print some photos of Swiss guns from google images or Gunbroker parts, you'll find lots of close up pics of the rear diopters.  Take them to any competent welder;  After seeing the pics, he should be able to duplicate it with no problem.
