Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - A1 rear sight side to side play
Posted: 10/25/2014 7:17:23 AM EDT
The sight wheel on my rear sight seems to work fine but there is about 1 mm of play between the screw head and left side of the receiver.  I can get the sight indexed and if I push on the screw head the aperture moves laterally approximately 1/2 click.  Is there a shim or washer I can use to take up the slack?  Is the screw out of spec? Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill?

This problem soetimes happens when you dont tighten the screw enough before installing the Rollpin, try driving the pin out, removing the sigh wheel and give the screw a few more turns, then reinstall everything and use a sight tool to center your aperature. If this is still a problem hen you could always install a thin washer but I doubt you'll need to.
