rear sight play

DrunkUncas · May 20, 2006, 15:16

just got my 1st FAL, a imbel mod 444

seems to be a hell of a lot of wobble to the rear sight- not the "base", but the sliding "top" portion

any way to tighten this up, or do i just replace it?

if i need to replace, are there any uber tactical aftermarket jobs i need to look at? or just replace with stock?

You can tighten the rear sight wobble by squeezing it together....ohh so slightly.

Probably best done in a vice with padded jaws, but there are many ways to git er done!!
