sstephns Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Just picked up a new to me Springfield RO and the front sight can be removed by hand. It's not shaking around, but it'll definitely move while shooting. Any tips to tighten it up? Dawson FO if it matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpl Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Take it out and use a center punch to raise some material on the bottom of the sight base. (Dimple the sight, not the slide!) Re-install it with some red loctite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racknrider Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I had the same issue with my RO. Followed the above advice and no more problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlj000 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I did a similar repair, made a couple of small burrs on the sharp edges of the dovetail + locktite. So far so good 2000 or more rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
