Tree Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 On the M1 and M2 Tactical there are open sights.The rear sight is mounted on the barrel just ahead of the receiver and the front sight is a triangle shaped blade. (See M2 Tactical photo on this site) My question is how is this front sight attached to the barrel? Is it threaded on like a bead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBow Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think mine is silver soldered, brazed, or welded on. Don't see any means for threading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCV 1974 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I can't tell how my front sight is attached, but thank you for asking. Because of your post I took a close look at both front and rear sights. I found the sight blade on my rear sight has worked loose. It will be easy to tighten, two small allen set screws. Does anyone know what size allen wrench is needed for those two small screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 OK. No trying the lefty loosie trick on the front sight. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
