EX11B - Did you have any problems getting the sight back together?  I put an Ashley aperature on mt A1 and had a heck of a time getting the roll pin started.  I really needed an extra set of hands to hold the upper, but no one was around to help.  I ended up using a needle from the wife's sewing box, and put it thru the roll pin and the rear sight to act as a slave pin.  Then I could wail on it with my plastic tipped hammer while using a piece of delrin in place of a punch.

it was a lil tricky after the little ball bearing went bouncing across my tile floor!! lol.. i got lucky putting the pin back in..lined it up and gave it a whack with a screw driver handle and it went right in.
