I'm green as grass on this sight guys. I hope in the right place with this post/question.
I recently purchased a 1943 Springfield M1 Garand (.30-06). I shot it for the first time over Christmas Holidays and was able to shoot a 3" to 3-1/2" group at 100 yards. The gun works perfectly in every aspect with exception of the front sight. It seems to be "loose", such that it ever so slightly pivots on the barrel. The top of the sight "assembly" will move or rotate as much as 1/32" or so. Can anyone offer any suggestions on what's needed to stabalize this problem? I haven't bought any books, manuals, etc. yet, but I feel that they're in my future.
Any comments/advice is welcome.
