I need a wider front sight and rear notch for my Unique. I hate to destroy the orginals with a file and epoxy. Anybody have any idea who I should call? I would even modify another set of originals.
Thanks!
Ben

I'm faced with the same predicament, although for my DES69.
If you have successfully removed your rear blade, please could you explain how it's done? It looks like the central screw-driver slot on the right end of the adjusting screw is swaged out (presumably in order to lock it) in the bore of a round, slotted collar. Is the latter threaded? Left-hand or right-hand? I'm reluctant to apply more force on the 'sh*t or bust' principle - it all looks rather delicate.
Good luck tracking down bits, I'm resigned to making the sight components (hopefully not including bits broken in ham-handed dismantling!), although goodness knows when.

Hi Kiwi,
I haven't gotten to the point of disassembly yet, but here is the page from my manual that tells what to do:
It's too hard to read if I post the picture here so this is the link:

Let me know if yours is the same and how you did it.
Regards,
Ben

I just looked at my pistol and that didn't help you much, Kiwi.
