Artillery sight weirdness

Buddy · 04-30-2002, 05:54 PM

I have had the same problem with my arty. It looked like the notches on both the slider and the sight itself were worn. I even tried straping down the sight to no avail. I finally removed the slider and put a drop of LockTite on the sight retaining pin when I put it back together without the slider. Seems to be holding. I figured I could have glued, epoxied, it down, but that is so permanent. I think the inertia of the slider in recoil was causing it to move forward lifting the sight.
