[QUOTE="egriton, post: 2027720, member: 26197"] I finally resolved the issue!!! I purchased the highest fiber optic sight I could find for the barrel diameter (ended up being a sight for the Ruger Mark II/III). It is .about .49 from barrel to bead. Basically, I cut a nail that was the same thickness as the pin in the Buckmark barrel, inserted it into the hole in the original sight, into a board of wood, drilled a hole the same diameter as the sight screw and attached. I then used the nail's tip to mark exactly where I needed to drill a second hole and outlined in pencil the borders of the sight. I then screwed the Ruger sight onto the board, following the borders and aligned it with the second hole. I used my smallest drill bit to get the pin hole in the Ruger sight started, and moved up bit by bit until it was the right diameter (and depth). It fits the barrel, pin and screw hole perfectly! The only negative is that the sight still isn't quite high enough. It works fine when the rear sight is at the lowest elevation, but I have to keep the rear sight at that level (which shouldn't be a problem given my sort of use). [/QUOTE]
