Will heat, straighten and resolder it to the base.
 
Not worth the postage. Easier to just to melt the solder and redo it.
Your right, sending it back will cost more than the simple fix
But I'd definitely share that same photo with Track and make issue of it with them.
They don't "make" anything there, they are just a retail distributor of wholesale parts.
But, who ever packaged that for you should have seen that obvious a flaw.
They only have 4-5 people in that shop, I'm a local boy in Track's neighborhood and know this as fact.

You let them see this too, and it WILL go back to the individual that sent it.

You received 4 like that?!!!!

I agree it isn't worth the postage to return them,,, and if you got 4 bad ones who knows what you'll get back,,,, especially given that you have the ability to fix them (not everyone does). But man, they need to know about that. One would be bad, but 4? Completely unacceptable.
Sorry you received that junk.
 
Is it also peened to the base or just soldered to the base ? If it's just soldered in the slot just heat and adjust, I have some that the sight blade has a "tab" on the bottom that goes through a hole in the base and is peened like a rivet. If that's the case it might be more work.

Send them pictures , they should pay for return postage if you choose to send them back, why should you pay for their mistake ?
