Stripped threads on holographic sight
I have a Sightmark holograph sight and the threads pulled out of the rear ‘fixed’ end of the base. Emailed Sightmark asking if they sell that part, or can repair it. Made it clear it’s not under warranty and I am willing to pay for repairs.
Got an email back saying basically,” it’s not under warranty. We won’t fix it. “
It’s a good unit, on an AR 15 pistol that rarely gets used, but I want it ready to go and serviceable. Any ideas/tips to repair it? Base appears to be aluminum. D6BF5A2F-921D-4C83-95F0-FC53ACC0F035.jpgthe threads that are pulled out are closest to my thumb.

Re: Stripped threads on holographic sight
Drill it out and tap to a bigger diameter bolt perhaps?
