JJsDad Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, ditchman said: surely it dont "glue" on... You got it in one. Looks like they are an interference fit & secured by a machinery adhesive; Loctite 270 should hold it or if you want to go `permanent` use 638. You need to get the fore-sight aligned for verticality pretty smartish as the Loctite cures in fairly short order (5 to 10mins). Looking at the barrel, the seating will probably need a clean up with emery cloth until the block taps on (and off) using a soft faced hammer. If you struggle to get the Loctite let me know, I can probably help. Cheers JJsDad Edited June 27, 2018 by JJsDad Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 right i have sorted it............... i will glue it on i will make a screw to go thro the sight...thro the barrell latch...and drill a locating hloe in the barrell then i will "bond" and put the locating screw in and leave it the underlever i will change into a mk 3....i have found if you press the button RIGHT in it will go another 12mm into the underlever.....so i will make a catch plate out of a set screw...push it into the underlever....drill thro with a 2mm drill and fix with a roll pin........................so that means i havnt destroyed anything and it can be returned to normal... the sliding catch is rubbish...hasnt been finished off proper...so i will polish it internal and external...so it becomes nice and smooth ...not "graunchy" i will take a few pics as i go along.....to amuse everybody..
