I have a Ruger SP101 and I need to get a new front sight installed. I bought the new front sight and retaining pin from Ruger, but now I need a gunsmith to install it because I do not have a punch small enough to get the job done. I have gone to Rich's a few times with great success, but I was looking for something closer I can go to and walk in and out in the Portland area. Thanks..... |

I see, my best friend Milla seams to think he knows how I waste my money.... You out of all people should know how I waste money, for the love of god look at the guns and ammo I have bought from you. And you know next in line to work its way into my safe is your K31  Honestly I have never known Allison and Carey to work on anything besides hunting rifles. This is what they have told me among their shitty customer service skills (and yes it is worse than Keith's). So I cannot put money in their pockets even if they were willing to take on the job. Anyhow, we will see how your custom punch works tonight Milla to see if we can get it out. |

Never mind on the penetrating oil, I got the front sight out. The only problem now is that Ruger sent me the wrong front sight (as so I thought), there is no provision like the original sight that allows the retaining pin to pass through it. Ruger service department says they all come without the hole in the sight and that is is listed on their computer as a part a gunsmith needs to service.... Yeah right ROFL

cut down a small nail that fits in the hole and use a pair of needle nose pliers and as far as drilling out the new one mark it precisely and use a drill pressor it could get sloppy on you or foo center from one side to the other roll pin try napa/ or palm abrasive on S.E. 14th and belmont |
