Though there is a thread on this topic already it seemed so old I feared posting a response/query there might get lost so I'm hoping it's kosher to start a new thread.
First, there are about a meg of gun forums out there but it was not difficult to choose this one to join as politics and the like seem subordinate here to the simple enjoyment of firearms.
OK enough newbie babble. Mine's a 25-year-old Buckmark and the sights are not as illustrated in the new .pdf manual at Browning's site so I'm hoping y'all can clue me in as to what the elevation/windage screws are on the rear sight.
Notice from responses on that other Buckmark sighting thread that improvements to the rear sight screw have not solved the loosening problem. Mine's a flathead screw (newer models seem to have an allen type screw) but mine works itself loose almost with every magazine load through the gun.
Not a biggy once I knew to watch for it and the screw's easily battened down with my gnarly thumbnail. Am reticent to locktight anything on my gun and am about to see if I can find a star washer that might do the trick.
Meantime, thanx y'all for a great forum and I look forward to picking everyone's brain.
Best,
