I have a Crosman pump-up air rifle that shoots the .177 pellet or BB. The front sight is made with a saddle that sits on the barrel, but this one broke off. So I used JB weld to reattach it, and it broke again. If I can find a replacement part, what is the best way to make a new piece stay put? My grandson needs to learn how to sight a rifle.
