    Rossi 92 rear site moving

    My Rossi 92 has a 20 inch barrel and when fired the rear site decides to adjust itself.Thought about super glue .Any other ideas

    Drill and tap for lock screw if you have room. The easier thing is to very lightly peen the dovetail to tighten the grip…or…I usually sight the rifle then stake in place with a prick punch.

    Remove the sight and dimple the surface with a center punch. Blue Locktite is always a good idea GW

    Might need to remove the sight from the dovetail and bend it down a bit more. This will put more pressure on the elevator once reinstalled.

    Good luck.

    I own 2 Rossi 92s. Both have the same issue as you are describing. A dab of fingernail polish where the sight meets the ramp cured it. No problem removing it if the need ever arises.

    The nail polish held good for at least 2 summers of cowboy action shooting and then a second application was needed.

    I cut a piece of brass from a .38 special spent case. I flattened it, then forced it into the gap. The piece of brass was tiny and almost invisible. It was like that when I sold it. I loved the rifle but it jammed every Cowboy Action competition I attended. But the brass fix worked.
