If you don't like paying lots of money to replace circular mirrors, at http://sextantbook.com/2011/03/27/making-circular-sextant-mirrors/ I explain one do-it-yourself process that works for me. No doubt it could be improved upon.
I have also updated my post on the evolution of the sextant micrometer in the light of new information and photographs kindly provided by Brent Evers.
