DZelenka Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 My sight leaf moves forward under recoil. How do I tighten it? Pictures would be helpful so I can make sure I dont have any broken parts. Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95mustang Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 The only part that keeps the leaf from moving is the little PC of spring steel with the plunger on it .If the spring is week or the tip of plunge is worn down.Last I new numrich had them for a few bucks each.

Colt Chopper Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I used a few drops of clear fingernail polish, once dried, I had no movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 I have tried locktite... ugly but works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R67 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 It happens to all original sights. The inch of travel does not effect sight picture. I just looked at a TSMG collection and immediately saw which gun the owner actually shot because the sight leaf was forward. If you want to gum up your sight with locktite or fingernail polish then go for it, but honestly does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I have added a small drop of rubber cement on each side. Seems to be solvent-proof and rubs off easily if need be.I also use a drop spread out inside lower and upper scope rings before final seating and assembly to keep the scope from ever moving. Allows tiny adjustments before tightening. It also keeps water out, important with steel rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
