"upgrade" better Daisy sights

The repair that I do to these sights is just that a repair I do not replace pins or springs. I repair an oversized hole at the bottom of the sight where the guide pin runs through to correct a manufacturing defect. The Gamo sight (Which is the original) does not have this defect. Consider approachin...
