Kimber76 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So I replaced the stock front sight in my limited. It's a great sight but it keeps coming loose, no matter how many times I tighten it its loose after the first stage. The set screw is so small and I can't remove it to lock tite it. Has anyone tried the Henning front sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullmug Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have a Dawson front site and i used blue thread locker twice and it wouldn't hold. I ended up using red and I haven't had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Dawson recommends a special loctite product for their front sights, don't remember the number, but it is green, and they sell little tubes of it for reasonably cheap. That is what I used on the Dawson front sight on my Stock II, and I haven't though about it since the day I installed it about a year ago...

Thanks! The green though, is not for the set screw, you actually put it in the dovetail. Just to be clear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimber76 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) I ended up taking the sight off and blue loc tighting the crap out of it. Shot a match lastnight and it's still rock solid. Hopefully it stays that way. Edited February 1, 2016 by Kimber76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've tried both Henning and the Xtreme FO front sight. I actually prefer the Xtreme. I have no trouble seeing either, both light up fine. However, the Xtreme has longer sight radius (7 mm) and better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
