Hello the Fire,

Bob I have tried to include 3 photos of my broken carbine sight. If you need a few more photos let me know.

Sorry about it taking so long.

cba,

That sight can’t be fixed since it has ready been welded. If you try to weld it again with without knowing what type of welding process was used or if the process induced impurities it will turn to crap in a hurry. Your looking at buying another sight.

Yes indeed, that sight is toast. There are a couple of usable parts, ie., elevation slide and base screw.
