Tapered reamer ... Brownells had them for National Match sights on M-1's and M-14's.One could also stone the tapered/handle end of a file to use as a reamer. Twisting a small "rat-tail file" in the hole could also work.Insert and ream from the muzzle side of the sight !!! Cheers,Smoketown

Cheers,SmoketownLet me check to be sure.I should taper the side of the peep sight that faces the muzzle of the rifle.The size of the peep sight hole that faces the eye should not change.Is that correct?Will the angled tip of a small drill bit be OK to taper the muzzle end of the peep sight?The peep sight of a Crosman P1377 is only 0.051 inches thick, how deep should the taper be?I assume the taper should then be blued or blacked with a permanent marker.Someone please tell me how to use this "Quote" feature correctly.
Before you cut metal, get a loupe and look at the aperture.Is it CLEAN, or do you see things sticking out?If you see stuff, CLEAN it first, then check again. It might be lint or dust.
That tells me that the obvious solution is to drill it out. I only say this from my personal experience. I have exactly the same issue and I have several peep that I drilled to remedy it. Reckon you'll just have to trust me on this one.
You can also order a new aperture from Midway, they have different sizes.https://www.midwayusa.com/sight-apertures/br?cid=19633
