First Long PO. 8

A tie wrap works well for securing the rear sight and keep it from jumping over the teeth.

So, what breaks the fine teeth is the slider 'jumping' during recoil? It is more that its weight in place on the groove it is sitting in it is known to jump over a few teeth? I was wondering how the event happened.

Would that not indicate a weak spring in the slider itself?

I think it may be just a poor design coupled with soft steel. My LP08 is showing wear in the "teeth" as well as my C-96 Mauser Red 9. I'm thinking it might be prudent to lock the rear sight of both in place if I want to continue shooting them.
