Good evening,

 A colleague from the stand has a usm1 with adjustable raised stamped third model.  It was originally fitted, the center punch making times: D

 Therefore, there are no plans to change it.  Ors, here is less action / friction On the knurled button, disrupts the target.  The adjustment "screw" is very loose, on some rise when maneuvering you feel a reluctance, there, nothing at all.

 Have you ever encountered this problem?  And how to settle it?

 I have to think about redoing the adjustment and depositing a drop of thread lock, or slightly spreading the edges, one from the other, of the rise to brake the screw.

 Any ideas, welcome.

 Thank you ,

I think I understand what you mean? I have never had that problem, but I have seen replacement spring washers for sale to correct it. I think the aggravation will be taking the sight apart. As I understand it, you might have to drill the deep staking on the retention nut (left side) to disassemble it.

I saw those spring washers for sale on ebay as I recall, or you could purchase a parts-only t3 sight and salvage the washer....if it’s any good.

This presumes you are talking about the windage adjustment.
