Seems the Loctite is to keep the front sight steady. Suppose someone wanted to remove the sights? Will the Loctite hinder that?

It depends on the type that you use. Blue loctite can be removed with solid hand tools and a good amount of torque. Red loctite requires heating first. There's also green, but it's for use on a screw/bolt that's already assembled, so it doesn't make much sense to use it when you're putting everything together. I put blue on the front sight screw and it hasn't moved in a year and about 1200 rounds. Honestly, I don't think I'll ever take the tech sights off because they're so great, so using red would make sense knowing that now. But since the blue seems to be doing the job just fine, unless you're 100 percent sure you'll never take off, I would say go with the blue. Also loctite is a specific brand, but most threadlockers use the same color designations. I got a different brand at Ace Hardware and it's worked fine.

Just use blue loctite and you're good to go. Blue will hold, but still be removable with a screwdriver. Never tried red loctite, but I hear that is more permanent.

Use the "Removable" type of threadlocker. Somewhere on the packaging it will read, "service removable", or something similar. I used Permatex medium strength, blue threadlocker, nothing has come loose yet.

There is only one screw that holds the front sight base on. I suggest purple low strength loctite, as it is specified for small fasteners, and easy removal. I absolutely advise against red loctite for any fastener this small. It is considered "permanent" for anything under 1/4". Blue would be acceptable.Also, be sure to tighten the front sight post into the sight base, via the allen head screw from the front. The instructions advise to do so, however I neglected to do this, and lost the front post. A replacement was easy enough to get, any standard AR post, will work.

No. Locative is not completely permanent. It can be removed, but be careful with the finish.

You shouldnt have a problem breaking the loctite. But on the other hand.. You probobly wont ever remove the sights :)

Yes. The sight post has a spring loaded pin to keep it in place. The pin can be depressed to allow for sight pin removal.

With your rear sight mounted in a forward position it could effect your sight picture alignment. But with continued practice and get comfortable with the location I don't think it would be a problem. Hope this helps.

It should help you pick up the front sight quicker when you are trying to track a bird. I put one on my Mossberg 590 that is not a hunting gun and one on a 20 gauge that did not have a front sight and they both seem to work well but I haven't shot either a lot since.

Yes, somewhat. It's one of the trade-offs of making the front sight easier to acquire quickly.

I installed mine with blue loctite on the front sight threads and smeared a little under the sight, as well. I have had no movement in the months I've been carrying it on a daily basis.

On my SBR AR 15 it does clear the front sight. On my LMT, LWRC REPR and AR 10 in 7. 62 Nato, the front sights are removable. I have used scopes for the .223 and .308 in this mount.

It's made so that you can use iron sights while it's still attached. In other words, you would turn of the reticle and look straight through it as if there was a clear piece of glass between your front and rear sights.

Yes, bus don't Worry uf you bought a good batt. Longs almost a year , my advice use Green loctite to screw not a heavy one because in te future yo Will not able to unscrew andar yo Will damage the sight, if you have more questions please be my guest regards Hugo N. Gunsmith

Apparently there are several answers to this one. My guess is that some of these sights work good and are parallax free. Others, on the other hand, are not. Given that it's cheap, this doesn't surprise me. Anyhow, the one I purchased is definitely NOT parallax free. The dot moves when I change the position of my head. Of course, it would be nice if they just put this little note in the product description.

Yes, they will and remember you will need a removal tool. MGW 317 sight tool or a sightpusher.com. Take your time, hard at first ,front site is hardest.

A little loss of accuracy is to be expected yes. Nothing you can't overcome with practice though. They are defensive sights so you trade a little accuracy for speed. Plenty good to be practically accurate however.

Will it work , I like them better than the Williams Fire Sights $50 & comes with adj. rear sight , recommend Loctite , Happy Safe Shooting ! Add a comment

I would imagine. A scope would get in the way and sights may or may not be an issue depending on the type And location. The whole thing has to wrap around the receiver so extra things like large sights could potentially be a problem.

Front sight might work, but the vortex blocks the rear sight from being raised.

Yes, you have to slide it in and use Loctite to keep it in place. But it's a good fit and with just a bit of Loctite, this won't budge. I've been carrying mine daily for a few months without any trouble. The front sight has a small screw that you tighten down to keep it in place, but you can Loctite that as well.

I have not ever used it on sights. If you go to Brownells.com they will have a sight adjust/removal tool. I do not like to us a punch and hammer for sights it runs too much risk of damaging the firearm and/or sights, a summing you are talking about sights with a dovetail mount.
