Hi all. I have a problem with my .22. Until last week, I haven't shot this gun in about 30 years. Decided it was time. Cleaned it and went to the range.
The gun shoots fine. Except..... The front sight is loose. It looks like there's a screw on top that holds it in place. Is this a set screw? Is there a hole in the barrel? Threaded? It looks pretty rusted, so it's soaking now. Also have to find my small allen wrenches. If it's just a set screw, I'll probably destrot it getting it out. Anyone know the size offhand?
I'm thinking I'll get a scope, but still want the sights to be accurate.
Thanks for any help,
DW
As an afterthought, I read the year of manufacture was first 2 digits of serial# subtracted from 2k. Is that right? Mine starts with 72. I bought it used in about '75.
