    Folks, I was attempting to drift front sight on a Win 94 30 30 and I knocked the whole site off !

    I see the solder on the barrel.

    Anyone know of someone that can resolder it back on around westside of Indy ?

    Appreciate the help

    Thanks

    Dave

    Hey, welcome to the forum! I'm up the road from you, over here by Wells.

    Larry Potterfield taught me how to do this, and worked for the soldering I did to convert a Maverick 88 to a 590.

    Here's the vid: [video=youtube;sBHOay8TAiI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBHOay8TAiI[/video]

    Thanks, "neighbor" interesting video !

    I meet Brett Havlin (Havlin's Firearm Finishing) yesterday and he soldered it back on in just a few minutes, great guy, great work.... check him out if you need any gunsmithing.
