HiViz sights on a Golden Boy Question.

Post by rikr » Sun Dec 29, 2019 10:44 am

I tapped the factory sights out and when installing the rear HiViz it just slides right in.. Is that normal? I have installed many sights on pistols and that is a first. Should I put some loctite on the groove to make sure it stays or is the set screw enough? Thanks for the help.

FIrst welcome to the forum from Wickiup Junction, Oregon!

The set screw should be sufficient as the sight dovetail was cut slightly undersized to allow it to move easily to adjust windage.

You say for your Golden Boy so I am assuming this is a .22 so recoil should not be a problem.

If for any reason it does not stay secure I recommend a thin copper or brass shim to snug it up a bit but still allow movement to adjust.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

over the years I've made some good friends who I enjoy shooting with in both KC and St Louis .... our group usually fires 100 rounds per visit at Jay Henges trap range .... our state has nothing to compare with Missouri's state shooting parks
