I need some help on installing the little metal that goes in the front sight you use for aiming, no clue what its called. I took it out to paint the rifle but now the thing spread up and i cannot scew it back in the way i took it out. Anyone done this before? Thanks. |
Thanks, that sucks for me, maybe an experienced builder who has built a lot of kits has come across this when painting a Romy Kit. |

Ok you will need a vise or pliers,needle nose pliers,wire cutting pliers,and the twist tie from a loaf of bread that has a wire in the center of it. First thing remove the paper or plastic from the bread twist tie as all you need is the bare wire. Squeeze the bottom of the front sight post togeather and on the 5th thread from the bottom wrap the wire around it and twist the ends togeather real tight at least 2 full turns with the needle nose pliers. Cut the excess wire off and and bend the twisted end up so it is againist the threads. Then screw the front sight post in. Once it gets started use the needle nose pliers to pull the wire off. |
