The Weihrauch stop pin holes are .242, old and new.Question for you knowledgeable folks:
What's the diameter of the stop pin holes on current vintage Weihrauch's?
...you need to torque down the compression screws more; it WILL not slide on the dovetail. The Weihrauch diopter wallows out the arrestor holes if the compression screw is not tight enough and the sight slides on the dovetail, and also, if you torque the arrestor hole screw too much it "lifts" the diopter off the dovetail???This is the sight base I have.

My plan is to tap that hole in the base for an M8 thread (it’s approx. 7mm). I just need to find a machine shop willing to make me a headless pin from a M8 grub screw.
Not sure without removing one and using calipers. The pin tightly fits the holes in the receiver.Question for you knowledgeable folks:

Just eyeballing one with a cheap caliper: 6.5 mm, or a hair over 1/4".Question for you knowledgeable folks:
