Loki999 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi, Yesterday i tried to change my front sight and i removed the pin, but i could not get the front sight out. So i left it like this without putting the pin back, shot a couple of rounds like 50 and noticed that the bushing stuck out of the slide. I this a coincidince or is my bushing broken? Does the front sightpin have anything to do with this? Best regards Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 the pin retains the bushing as well. put it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdave24 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 And do it soon so you don't lose the bushing! I hear they're almost impossible to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Have SP01 bushing if you need. But the pin is what holds in place. Shooting without the pin will drive it out of the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingchipmunk Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If you moved the sight within the dovetail that could be why the pin won't go back in. the pin goes into a slot that is drilled through the sight that it lines up with. When you put in a new front sight it has to be re-drilled, so if you moved it you have to move it back to where it was. It only covers a small bit of the pin hole by the way, but enough to matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpulled Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 This has me confused. My accu has no pin for the front sight and czc website says that no pin is necessary and the pin could damage the threads. Are there two types of accushadow ?

bigdave24 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 An accu shadow has no pin because it would interfere with the threads. And the screwed in bushing prevents the front sight from moving. A regular shadow has the normal bushing, and the front sight pin holds the front sight and bushing in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki999 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi thank you all thats good news i love my shadow! I put maybe 25-30k rounds thru it so it could be broken i thought. Thanks again for your expertise. Best regards Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
