Sorry dont mean to sound rude. Does anyone have experience with re drilling a small hole that almost halfway overlaps a hole that was drilled wrong. If what i got does not affect poi i will not worry about redrilling.
My thought would be, tap the error hole, run a screw in it, the loktite or superglue is good if you cant silversolder it, finish the surface, drill new hole.Sorry dont mean to sound rude.

Guessing this might provide some context for anyone offering advice:
Wasnt sure where to post this
With open sights if the front sight is centered over the bore but the rear sight is off center a little say less than 1/8. What affect would there be sighting in. If sighted at 50 yards would poi be off to left or right due to off center rear sight? Please keep it simple my brains only got one...www.rugerforum.com
As always IIRC, IMHO, FWIW, YMMV, etc., etc.
I can tell you from past experience what took place. Both the Lyman and Marble Tang Sights have two holes in them for mounting to the tang of the receiver. The rear hole uses the factory hole that attaches the stock to the rifle. The front hole has to be drilled and tapped which isn't that easy to do. Yes I have done it a few times with success. BUT the 3rd Marlin from the left has an unuseable OFF CENTER hole. That can not be easily fixed so the sight is held on with only the rear screw. Yea I screwed it up. 1000 and 1000s of 45 Colt rounds have been fired along with the rifle being thrown down on tables during SASS matches without a problem.The answer is no, there is no easy way to accomplish this. As has been mentioned, weld/fill the old hole(s) and mill smooth and then drill a new hole. Can we see a picture so we can see what the issue is?
