I can cut metal, but I never learned to weld. Can't solder worth a darn, either. But I've got a broken sight that needs fixin'.
This is off an M1860 Dreyse Fusilier Rifle. It's marked for a naval organization, which might explain the pitting. As you can see, one of the little legs at the base has broken off. I tried (repeatedly) to silver solder it, but it just keeps breaking. Looking at the other, intact leg, it's surprising they didn't all break off. Anyway, it looks like a micro-weld job, and I don't do welding.
If anyone has recommendations for how or where I can get this repaired, I would be interested. Since the sight is about irreplaceable, I'm looking for a very reliable outfit.
