Henry Lever Action .22

[skyhightree1]

Can someone tell me how to keep this sight cover on this gun? The circular piece over the end iron sight keeps falling off while shooting or just carrying it of course it hasnt been shot in about 8 months but if any .22's become available I want to be able to shoot and the sight stay on.

Loctite ?

 

[skyhightree1]

Didn't think about that. I wonder if it will work without making it look all extra crappy

 

[cross_7]

Looks like it just slides in the groove, I'd use the green and just put a little in the groove

 

[skyhightree1]

i will try that its pretty annoying that it does that they definately need to fix that design

Compress the cover in a vise ever so slightly wrapped on a rag or tape as use the loctite as mentioned.

I lost mine first month I owned it over 10 year's ago.
It is absolutely the most abused gun on this place it has been run over, dropped in the creek the list goes on.
My model is a 22 mag and has killed more varmit's than any weapon here as it is with me constantly.
Heck of a fine weapon as far as the hood goes get over it or like when your car develop's a rattle turn the radio up.
The front sight is plastic with a metal hood the two material's are not a good match

in that case get it positioned where you want get a small brad nail heat it until cherry red and put a small divot at all 4 corners in the grove there will be enough plastic pushed in the channel to hold it in place.

Thats worth a try too havent got any locktite yet so got plenty of brad nails though

This will end badly...........someone go fetch Doc Burrage.

Maybe an email or call to Henry to see if they have a fix on their dime? Just a thought.

Otherwise, loctite and a toothpick to spread it.
