Front sights missing

I have two Uberti 1873 revolvers that have been rebarreled to 44-40 from 45 Colt.  The front sights on both have come off and are lost.  I have replacement sights.  I have had no  luck with JB Weld.  Any recommendations as to who can replace them.  Thanks.

Snake Oil George can easily fix those. 
 

Someone should be able to PM you his contact info.

When I was working at a shop that did some warranty repairs, they we used Black Max.  They weren't my guns so can't say how long it lasted.  But I suggest finding someone relatively close if you want to have a 'smith work on them.  Shipping two handguns just for front sights will be rather expensive.

I’ve always thought they need to be TIG welded. A gunsmith did that on  an Uberti years ago.


I’m not even sure what that is but it worked.:)

Kind of off the wall, but if you have a friendly, small town jewelry shop, they can silver solder.  A local one fixed a favorite pair of no longer manufactured shooting glasses - silver soldered good as new.
