I have a Ruger MkII competition target with what I assume is the factory rear sight. Noticed today that the elevation hinge pin on the rear sight wants to walk out of it's location. I don't see any clip or detent to keep it in place, it's just floating in there. What's the fix?

It's a common problem for Ruger rear sights. I actually take a punch and put a very slight flat spot on the pin. Not on the end, but in from the end about 1/16". Then when I drive the pin in, the end still looks good.
