Bigweed Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Took my easyhit of my shotgun sometime ago but now looking to try it again but it will no longer stick to the rib - tape no longer sticky Any recommendations as to which double sided tape and where to get it or other method for refixing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beretta Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 get some neodymium disc magnets and glue these to the easyhit. or try rare earth magnets, either are great and means you can put it on and off the gun anytime. better than glueing straight on the rib. i have 6mm diameter by 1mm thick.

jko Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hiya Bigweed, I use different types of glowsights ( I make them myself.) I allways use the latest red tube Evostik, It sticks really good, in fact its allmost impossible to twist a sight off by hand, But its easily removed with boiling water if you want to put it on another gun!

throdgrain Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Now that is useful! Red Tube Evostick? And once you take the sight off again you can remove the glue residue? Mine was so successful on my 1100 I've refitted my old one on my 870 too, but atm I'm using silocone gasket which seems to be a bit flimsy, but leaves no mark at least ...

jko Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yep mate, I use it all the time on mates guns who have had a freebee foresite from me. It can come unstuck with force when the barrell is hot if twisting force is applied after shooting to get the barrell really hot! Dohh, but otherwise it stands up to the heat applied! If not use one of the two tube araldite mixes ,and you wont have any more probs! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnets have arrived this morning - thanks for that tip beretta :blink: Now what's the best way to remove the original easyhit, and any residual mounting adhesive/foam from the gun it's currently on?

petethegeek Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 If yours is stuck on, WHAT do you want the magnets for? So I can use it on my other one as well. (Not that I want to appear unduly tight fisted, or anything.) PS Will I still be able to use steel shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbritish1976 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 how many people use easy hit ? is it worth while purchaseing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 From my limited knowledge, I would say about no more than 1%. The smarter people shoot with a Ruby - half the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackReady Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Fishing line slipped under the bead and slid down the rib will lift off the Easyhit bead. I can vouch for the Ruby sight just as effective and easy to fit. I like the idea of using the magnets. I found it initially made me want to poke at the clays more rather than swing thru the target, but a few weeks of consciously making sure not to poke helped resolve that one. Has anyone else encounter that problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
