TreblePlink Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So, twice now during practice sessions, finishing up shooting groups at 25 yards, I find all my hits consistently off to the right by 8 inches, and I have to readjust my windage screw a long way to get back to zero. Today I notice that the windage adjust screw head seems above flush by maybe .030, and when I push the spring-loaded screw back, I can turn its nut on the left side. So the windage adjustment screw nut has lost its stake? Can this be re-secured with red loctite, or am I going to have to re-fit a new rear sight into the dovetail?

Steve J Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Replace the entire sight. Much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreblePlink Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Naysayers! Fixed with 30 amps DC Tig weld with current flowing through the screw head. I don't think the nut will rotate now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Rust Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I did the same thing almost! I just tigged the blade to the sight base. Fixed sights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
