Front sight won't stay tight BHP

[ipscgraz]

I have two Brownings and this one has factory adj. sights. There is a slotted screw head on both left and right sides of the rear sight face. I can snug these down and the sight does not move. 30 or 40 rounds later the screws have backed of and the sight plate (with the notch) moves around freely. Anybody else run into this?

I've read about that being a known problem on the older (70's) BHP's with the so called "beer can" type sights. The suggested fix there was a drop of blue loc-tite.

That would be your rear sight..... Get some blue loctite as mentioned above.

Loctite, problem solved.

You would think I would have caught the "front" part of that...

tunnel vision?

Thanks to all.
