Replacement elevation screw for STI adj rear site?

[2MoreChains]

Hi everyone,

The elevation screw on my STI Eagle's adjustable rear sight broke today (mid-way thru a stage no less...). It also sent the spring into outer space. Any idea on where I can find replacement parts to rebuilt the sight? This is the Bomar-style rear sight that STI makes.

The screw broke in half between the upper leaf and lower sight body, and we were able to unscrew the lower piece of the screw to get it out of the site. It looks like if I can find a replacement screw and spring I can still use the same sight body.

I haven't called STI or Dawsons yet to see if they have the parts, and may do that on Monday.

In the meantime, was wondering what you guys would suggest. Worst case scenario is I'll just order a replacement rear sight. But i was hoping you guys might know of somebody who sells replacement parts to rebuild the sight as this might be a good thing to have in the parts kit since my SS gun has the same sight.

Thanks!

Try directly to STI customer care. they will help you for this. Anyhow in the future put on your sight some scotch tape so if you'll get a new broken at last you dont lost the small part.

I had one to strip the threads. Called STI, they shipped me one free of charge.

Thanks guys,

I did call STI and they are taking care of it free of charge. Getting new screw and springs in the mail. Thx for the tip on keeping the springs in place with scotch tape.
