TC Fiber Optic Sights Wiggle

[Grillgod]

I just put on a new set of TC Fiber Optic Sights on my 54 cal Renegade. You can wiggle them a little bit from side to side. This doesn't seem quite right.

Anyone had any experience with this ?

a small drop of crazy glue under the sight?

The standard factory sights on my TC Hawken do the same....ever so slight side-to-side wiggle if you wiggle them,but left untouched they stay centered.They also tilt back and forth slightly if I wiggle them on that plane.I think it's just the fit of the adjustment screw...seems kinda sloppy to me,but the accuracy is good?

Thanks henbrook,

That makes me feel a lot better.

I just pulled out my .54 Renegade and the rear FO sight I installed a few years ago does not move. I had researched them on the T/C web sight and then purchased the sights at a local shop using the part numbers I found on line.

The adjustment ramp does move up to allow you to reach the mounting screws but the surrounding base does not move, side to side or front to rear.

Are you sure you have the correct rear sight? The one I purchased was longer than the one I removed but used the same screw holes.

I dug in my ML box and found the sights I took off but the package for the rear sight was not there so I can't give you the part number.

I remember using some loc-tight on the mounting screws when we installed the rear sight but it was just a drop on the threads and the screws are holding the sight securely...

..

What I "meant" was not that that the base on mine moves,but rather the rear blade itself wiggles a bit from side to side and back and forth "if" I wiggle it.Left alone,it stays centered and on target.Again,it seems to me that the fit and/or design itself of the windage adjustment screw is sloppy at best,poor quality workmanship and design at worst?

Mine is doing exactly what henbrook is saying. I'm going to the range in the morning, so I'll find out if the sights are going to work or not. I called TC this morning and their Customer Service is closed until Monday.

We'll see !

The sight on my older TC Hawken dont move but others I have do...I dont think it will cause you any real problems...dont seem quite right that they wiggle like that
