[Stu]

Hi all, and thanks for reading. I have a nice condition German WW2 issue Hi Power with an interesting problem. At some point in time a separate barrel bushing was fitted held in place by the front sight post being staked. This work was done very well, the bushing is very difficult to detect. The wear pattern suggests this modification was done earlier in the gun's life rather than recently.

The problem is that the front sight has become loose, to the point that it could probably be pulled out quite easily. Although this isn't a collector gun I'd like to have it repaired without damaging the existing finish and using the original parts.

So, can anyone advise as to suitable techniques, (re-stake, silver solder etc..), and possibly a person you'd trust to do the work ?

I've stared at this problem for a few years and finally want to get this fixed !
