It's best to just replace the rear sight.
USGI sights were staked together and were not intended to be repaired, just replaced.

There were three types of original USGI sights.
The first was a simple "L" shaped non-adjustable sight.
The second was adjustable for windage and elevation, and was made of milled steel.
The third was a stamped version of the second.

The "preferred" sight is the second type made of milled steel. It's just better quality than the stamped version.
Many parts houses and surplus dealers have original or "replica" models of this sight.

If you insist on having a stamped sight, surplus parts can be bought form companies like:
Orion 7 Enterprises.
Fulton Armory.
William J. Ricca.
and many others.
