WANTED Advice to replace sight part

[copehill hermit]

I am I need of advice. I asked a "gunsmith" to drill and tap a TC tang sight on my TC Renegade. In so doing, he managed to drop the small ball bearing that acts as a detent in the sight. It is lost. after much searching I gave up. Obviously he did not charge me, but I need that bearing to reassemble the sight and make it functional. Any ideas? Thank you.

Most gunsmiths carry these in many different sizes. check with some other smiths in your area. There are online places that sell them just need your size, good luck

Near me, ACE Hardware has drawer of ball bearings of all sizes. The Marbles Sight Company also uses those ball bearings it their sights, for their tang aperture sights; they might send you a couple.


I buy the larger ones and roll them (covered in lapping paste) in the muzzle of new-to-me rifles where the crowns may need a touching up.

TC has a lifetime warranty on the renegade. Contact them. I did and they put a new sight on my barrel. I had to send it to them, though.

Try steel shot from a few different sizes of shot shells. Proabably a size 8 or 9.

Lol, I thought you were selling advice.
I probably would have bought some.

Its in the for sale section because people cant be bothered to read any rules, and moderators cant be bothered to enforce those rules.
