You have found a flaw in my idea!

You are correct in that the blade/button (one piece) would have to stand away from the pivot pin the small amt that the clearance allows for TD and re-assembly in order for the idea to work.
The area where the button portion rt angles outward from the blade and forms part of the pivot for the blade is where it would show a clearance gap

Looking at the orig pics of the sight on pg1,,the blade/button piece is a nice, tight fit to the pivot pin in that 12 to 3 oclock quadrant. Enough clearance for it to rotate but that's it.

My idea would have to allow for the extra clearance needed to depress the blade downward into the base assembly to remove the locked-in pivot pin and to re-assemble.

Being one-piece, the blade and the button must be depressed as one and that nice tight fit at 12 to 3 around the pin (looking from the RH side) would have to be
compromised.

Well it was an idea anyway!

Back to the press fit pin I guess..
