Can an A2 FSB with 4 set screws be mounted straight?
Yes, I know I posted this question on the other websight.....but all I got was one genius reply telling me to send my upper to ADCO. :confused: If this can't be done properly at home, then I want somebody to factually tell me so. If you have war-stories about it, then I'd love to hear them. Surely somebody has attempted to mount the 4 screw style FSB at home?
OK.......
I have an A2 style Front Sight Base that uses 4 set screws (not taper pins). I'm starting out with a new clean barrel.
Is it just a matter of mounting the FSB as straight as my eyes tell me.......and putting some blue loc-tite on each of the screws...... and that's it, I'm done? Or is it deceiving to the eye, and it can end up being slightly canted and off target. (??)
Will the blue loc-tite on the 4 screws hold it firm enough......or do I then need to dremel small flats over the little indents that the screws mark in the barrel?
Your experienced input please.
