Knurling some steel.
Turning down to one diameter.
Then to the screw diameter, and threaded with a die.
Undercutting the thread. I probably didn't need to do this but it's on the drawing...
Parted off.
Mounted on a mandrel and the end faced and chamfered.
Slotting a screw slot.
The drawing shows that it's a plunge in from center rather than a straight cut. Not that it matters.
The finished screw.
It mounts the sight bracket to the rifle.

How much would you sell a replacement sight for? My father gave me my great grandfather's Crosman 101 a month ago. It shoots just fine, but is missing the rear sight.
Bryan and Associates sells replacements for much less than I could make one for:

Tell them you heard about it on my blog!

Thank you Nick... I actually ran across that link in my searches. I'll let them know you sent me.

I just got done making sights for my Crosman 100 based on your photos. I made all the parts out of brass. Came out great and adds a little "Bling" to an old air rifle.
If there was a way I would add some photos.
Bob,
Great to hear it was of use to you!
Nick
