This may belong back in the Technical forum, but I felt I would have a larger audience here. Mods, feel free to move it if you wish.


So I have a Copper John Dead Nuts 2 Comp, and, well I have an issue. It seems that in our attempt to remove a pin (does anyone here know HOW to do this btw), that Rob and I stripped the threaded collars that go around the individual pins. We noticed that after we put it pack together (we had to take it apart to see how to remove the pins, but we ended up just cutting one of the pins, lol), that my micro adjust for the individual pins would not work. Spinning the knob just caused the entire threaded assembly to spin, but the pins didn't move. So I looked closer tonight, and looked at the pin we removed, and saw that the collar threads are obviously stripped, and thus the threaded rod is just spinning around on its on without moving the pins. My question to you, and I suppose I will call them tomorrow, is would I be better off with:

A. Keeping the sight as is and forget the micro-adjust (I can somewhat move the pins up the rod by hand)

B. Send the housing back and see if CJ and repair it

C. Replace the entire sight

I do like the sight, but it has its downfalls. I don't like the fact that you have to loosen set screws to micro-adjust (both gang, and individual pins are like this). I like the pin size, brightness, and overall sight construction, but I doubt I would want to go with option A and live without microadjust (heck, that was a major attraction of the sight to me in the first place). So, off the top of your head, does anyone know IF CJ will even take this as a repair, and if they do, would it be too costly in the end to warrant the fix or what? Kind of bummed, because I really don't know if I want to sink more money into a new sight if I don't have to.
