10/22 question

[vf116]

The pin on the front sight fell out and the pin that holds the rear sight to the barrel slides out when I fire it. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm going to contact Ruger about it, just wondering if this has happen to anyone else?

Hmmmm...the front and rear sights go into dovetail slots.
If either sight is loose, the dovetails can be easily "tightened" in several ways.
If you have the fiber optic sights, the rear is held in pace by a set screw that should be tightened and maybe loctited.
The FO sights are a looser fit than the metal ones.
I have spares of both kinds.
Easy fix, I'm not too far away, PM if you want some help.

These are a nice replacement. Not very expensive either.

front sight bead: brass(?)


rear sight, pin slides toward right after 200+ shots (right per shooter)

Use blue Loctite(removable) as stated above. I have a Mark II, the rear sight pins drifts out upon recoil, but after loctite, no more.
Good Luck

Its kinda funny, I tried everything to get my front sight to drift out to install tech sights (finally took it to a smith). And somebody is having problems keeping theirs in =[
