ropati Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 So, I installed a FO sight on my TS last night. I did it by the book: drifted new sight it, drilled from the left side with the appropriate drill bit, placed pin back in. I know the pin also helps hold the bushing in. When I look at it now, the bushing appears to be compressed towards the barrel. This doesn't appear to impinge on the barrel inappropriately, but I'd hate for it to affect accuracy. Any comments? Stuart, what say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Does it still cycle smooth? If so I'd say you just made it more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You didn't drill out the pin hole before driving the pin back in did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropati Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I replaced the sight, then drilled it, then replaced the pin.....just like it says on the CZC site........hope that was right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 If it still racks smooth I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgardner Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Just how difficult was it to drive the pin in? It should go fairly easily. Out of curiosity what did it look like before? If you can remove the pin and it relaxes back to round drill it again. I've had the drills chip on the edges and needed to go back into the hole with a new one to drill it to size. Usually I take a triangular file and remove the bulk of the material for the half diameter hole in the sight before I drill and it goes very easily. Just measure the location from the end and the depth and file it just shy of finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropati Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 It drilled easily and the pin wasn't tough to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I just (as in 10 minutes ago) installed a new front sight on my Shadow. It is a Dawson, it fit perfectly and required no drilling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropati Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 CZC require drilling. I pulled pin and it looks the same. Idk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
