I just removed the iron sights from my 22 semi to accomodate a scope . This obviously leaves 4 small threaded holes in the top of the barrell.
Should I fill the holes with something that will be easily removeable if I want to refit at a later date, or are the holes that small so as not to be an issue. ???
Thanks for the scope by the way Bill, I love it so far
I would get some grub screws fron an engineering shop and locktite them in.
Too easy :( Why didnt I think of that

If you going to use loctite use the low strength stuff, NOT the red permanent type.

Smooths over real nice and is easily removed at a later date if need be.
I've got 4 grub screws that came of a Mod 7 (scope base holes on receiver)
Thanks for the input fellas. I simply put the original screws back into their holes with the addition of blue Loctite. It is oly a cheapy Mossberg/Magtech plinker, so it doesnt have to look a million bucks so long as it shoots. Which it does surprisingly well at 60 metres
Oh well a 6" nail pref galv will fix it:yuush:

At least 7mmwsm got the numbers the correct way round. It has forever been a "4 x 2" .
2x 4 just would not work in the rhyming slang properly ;)
