Sks front sight base wobble

[TrendyRendy]

Hey guys,

I just bought a chinese sks, its numbers matching and has the jungle stock. Everything is great but the front sight base that sleeves over the barrel is loose. It doesnt shift up and down the barrel but rotates side to side with only finger pressure. Not alot but I'd say 1/4 inch or so but enough to notice the sight picture change when looking down the sights.

The pins are still in the base.

Anyone experience this and resolve it?

Maybe try loctite?

I've used clear silicone to bubba tighten screws and sights. Like loctite you can peel it off with no permanent marking and it seems to stand the heat reasonably well.

Perfect, I will try that. Thanks!
