Yes...I have never seen one...
...that had a sight like yours (as opposed to a dovetail arrangement like Craiso's) that does not just pull out.
I would check the diameter before you take it out and make sure you have a rod that will fit.
I have done about three of these and it is always a 1/8th brazing rod.
You can do a little trigonometry to figure out how tall it has to be. Cut it rough first. then smooth it little with a file or with some sandpaper on a piece of hard wood. Oak or maple.
Another way is to cut it to about an inch and a half, shape the top of the sight the way you want it by chucking it into a drill. Drill press is better and a lathe is best but I don't know what your shop has in it.
Then cut it to the proper height, flatten the bottom and press it in.
