vixty Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 How long does it last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I haven't broken one on mine (knock on wood), how many rounds do you think you have through it so far? I imagine the tension springs underneath went a flying when that broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G T Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 2nd time in 4 years. Only about 4k rounds. Springs and the broken adjustment screw scatter nicely. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixty Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Almost sounds like the screw should be changed out once a year to make sure its good to go. Or maybe there's a replacement screw out there that's made of some better material that will fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus45acp Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 begun to have issues with the rear Kensight on my Shadow Target. After 20 to 30 rounds, the front pin starts to drift out and always to the right. Blue LocTite works for a while but it just keeps on wanting to drift... grrr...

Where the Allen head is set into the top of the screw it doesn't leave enough material. If the gun was used with some hotter loads it wouldn't last no time.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneBray Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 There should .001-.002" space between top of receiver and the bottom of the sight behind the dove tail. If not the sight is under constant tension. That may be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rottnchi Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I have gone through 3 in the past couple years. Switching to fixed sites in a few weeks. Can't have them flopping around at a big match. Good idea just needs a better quality screw. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
