darn. A snag.
I was unscrewing the horizontal sight windage adjustment screw. I knew it had a pin/ratchet type system to look out for. I unscrew it, and carefully place it down trying not to dislodge the pin just yet until I figure out where to put it.
Well, wouldn't you know it. I tripped, hit the table, and the shaking table dislodged the pin, and it rolled somewhere. That thing is TINY. So now it's hide and seek with another small part.
In the meantime, just in case, I ordered from Brownells "036390000 REAR SIGHT PLUNGER SPRING) for the Model 66. I am a little concerned as it doesn't mention the pin, just the spring. I'm hoping it has both.
For less than $2, if that is a fix, great. Otherwise I'm going to need to clean up the shop to find this thing tiny thing amongst all the dirt and metal shavings/chips on the table and floor.
This project would be easy, if it weren't for my clumsiness.
