Thoroughly degrease the post and hole, Apply Loctite 271 (red) and align the sight so it is straight. Do not disturb and let cure for 24hrs.
or Cut open a promo shell and take a shot pellet or two and put in the bottom of the hole, then thread your bead in. The shot should compress to give tension on the post but allow you to align the fiber optic. |

Sorry, Not familiar with the Winchester's. You could try calling them up and asking? Or take it to a local smith and let them deal with it.

Quoted: I'm replacing a broken front sight on a Benelli super black eagle shotgun. I went with the factory sight since I liked the last one. It's a small fiber optic rod held by two rings with a base that screws into the barrel rib. I got the old sight out without an issue, but I'm having trouble getting the new one to index properly. When finger tight, it is about 1/8 of a turn beyond parallel with the barrel. I'm hesitant to go another 3/8 turns and risk twisting it off. Any ideas? Thanks. Link with a photo of the sight https://www.shopbenelli.com/sights-bases-rails/60458 Use a trimmer to trim off the bottom of the sight so it can turn in that little bit more. bead facing tool |

Run a tap into the threads to insure they aren't damaged. Use a level, make sure the tap is running in straight.
