Yesterday when at the range shooting my Arsenal SAM-5 (an AK chambered in .223 Rem), I found that the front sight post became loose. It could back out by the recoil when the rifle was fired. This was very annoying, since this lowed the POI shot by shot. The post could back out more than 1/4 turn after 10 shots.

What could I do to correct this problem? Could I just put some strong glue such as CA glue to keep the post from backing out? or I have to replace something?

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I'd try some blue loctite.
