I went shooting today and when I got home I took it apart to clean. I noticed that the screw(?) on the Novak rear sight was sticking up and the sight was moved all the way to the left. I didnt notice it whiule shooting but I am guessing it simply came loose and worked its way over.

Ever seen this before? Is this something I am able to fix? If so, how? or do I need to send it to SA?

I took some pics, they arent the best but I think you can tell what is going on:


In this one you can see the slide to the left.


Notice the screw(?) sticking out of the middle of the sight.


Another pic of the screw sticking up.



Thanks for the help.

Remove the screw and degrease it with denatured alcohol. Center the sight in the sight channel and reinstall the screw after putting a drop of blue locktite on the threads. Let set 24 hrs before shooting.
