Hi guys I'm getting ready to install the front sight base on my Smith Corona 03a3. It seems to be pretty straight forward but I had a few questions...

1) Are the pins tapered? They look to be straight but just want to be sure before I start tapping in the pins.
2) Should I use a bit of blue loctite to keep everything secure?
3) Does anyone know where I could pick up a front sight blade for the 03a3, I have everything but the sight blade.

Thanks for any help

Pin out, tap off sight. I suggest a wider front sight. There are a few guys that make and sell them.

I bought a replacement blade and pins for my SC 03a3 a few years ago from numrich.
