What can I use to pin a No4 Enfield rearsight in place?

[nelly]

Howdy,

Working on a No4 project right now that lost it's rear sight components. I have some spare bits around for the short-term until I can find "correct" parts, but I wonder...

What can I use for the locking pin on the left side of the sight axis pin?

I'm sure I've seen some sort of recommendations... somewhere.

Thanks in advance!

Neal

try a real fine finishing nail, might do the trick.

part of a big paper clip works too
