I had an accident with my 392. It fell over and struck a table which broke about 1/16 to 1/8 inch off the front sight. It appears to be some kind of pot metal. I realize I can just add optics to it, but would like to repair it. From looking at a parts diagram it appears to be part of the barrel assembly and I cannot see how to take it apart. Any suggestions on how to repair or replace it?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would ask the folks at Mac-1, listed in the GTA Mall. They know more than anyone about these guns. If you can't replace the blade, consider something like making it flat and then attaching a globe front sight. While I like these guns, that front sight leaves a lot to be desired.

It is brass and soldered on. It isn't that hard to swap out if your good with a torch. If you are not go find someone who is. This is soft solder so no hot torches needed and propane will do fine. I have the Front sight in stock.
You learned why they should not be leaned against stuff.

392 is all brass...I believe the front sight is soldered to the barrel the same time the barrel is soldered to the tube. Someone please correct if I am wrong...at this time I think your best bet would be to dress it out and scope it with a intergabase BE#1or call Mac 1 and get one of the new peep sights that Tim has from Williams that have been retooled to fit justright. Just my OP. I'm an old guy but new here so...
