I installed TSR 100 sights onto my 10/22 TD. When it came time to remove the original factory front sight it was so easy I could have just pushed it out with my finger. Made installing the TSR 100 front sight a lot easier.
Almost too easy. It slid right into that dove tail.
I mixed up some JB Weld and applied it to the base of the sight, let it set for 24 hours and then installed the rest of the parts for the site. Nice and secure. Until... At an Appleseed event this past weekend the front sight, near the end of day 2, had come loose; it was only kept in place by the side screws and front screw that had all been set with blue Loctite. Between the heat of the barrel and the recoil vibrations I guess it was only a matter of time before the sight came lose. I thought JB Weld was the cat's meow? Is there something besides JB Weld that will keep the front sight in place? I don't want to switch to a scope, wanna keep it "pure."
In the end, I did get my Rifleman's patch by the skin of my teeth, wiggly front sight and all. Appleseed is a great event. Bring Ibuprofen and an energy gel.
Thanks.
