Using locktite on a Williams Peep on the rail?

[45flint]

William sight slowly creeps backward, thinking of just putting some locktite on the rail and clamp?

[elh0102]

I doubt if locktite will be satisfactory, since it is designed to be used on threaded fasteners. There are certain types of two-part epoxy that might work, but I expect it will be a challenge to get anything to adhere strongly to two smooth surfaces. It would be a simple machine job to drill a shallow hole in the receiver that would accept a small stud to hold it in place.

I had problems with the Williams peep sights creeping back on my HW95 and HW30s.

I put blue Loctite on the screws and let it set for 24 hours before use.  It was last year that I applied the blue loctite and the sights have stayed in place ever since then.

You should also degrease both the dove tail rail and the Williams peep sight and use the blue locktite.
That stuff is so good it should be included with every air rifle purchase. LOL.

What have you got to lose with the blue?
If it doesn't work, try something else.
What rifle are you mounting the sight on and what model sight?

You shouldn't have asked, lol a Browning AirStar 200, only electric springer ever made. Push a button and a motor cocks the gun, was a marketing failure in the 1990s. Has to be one of the oddest air rifles ever made, but extremely high European build quality.

I use Vibratite and it works great for me.  Locktite is more for threads as previously discussed, this stuff dries into a hard rubber like substance which is easier to remove in the future IMO.

I stumbled across  Locktite 380 "Black Max" super glue
It's a black color rubber impregnated Super Glue that is friggin AWESOME for sticking two black pieces of metal together.

A single drop on each rail would due.

I would like to take it apart in the future.  Going to start with blue and if it doesn't work I work my way up.

Locktite was a bust (must be oxygen free to cure) but finally found a scope stop that is well made and works.  Made by Sun Optics, perfect!  Good scope stops are hard to find now cause most scopes build them in.

On my Hatsan 95 I just used one of the screws that holds the scope stop on. On my Vantage, I didn't use anything (kicks less). The peeps are so light they have much less momentum than a scope so at the end of the kick cycle they don't tend to keep moving (much).

I do need to put a little locktite on the elevation screw, though. I notice it starts to back out after several shots. It would be nice to have it locked in.

I bought this and it works great. Keeps the Wiliams sight from moving.

Seems like a cool gun.  How's it shoot?
