So… purple locktite or blue locktite on the set screw?

Purple 222

This will allow you to adjust the setscrew, if necessary, while preventing back out due to vibration.

I'd don't think he'd get a lot of takers, since my guess is that most pythons won't even get fired, but $190 doesn't seem all that bad (to me) if the thing installs easily. Plenty of $100-$150 rear sights in Brownells. I bet if he sold them for $200 shipped on his site he'd move some. Bowen rough country's are $110. That being said the stock ones in the pics don't look that bad to me either.

My experience so far is that the sights could be better. In my opinion, the rear notch is a bit shallow and the front is a bit short. A flat faced rear, like the Elliason or Bowen would be a huge improvement.

Wait, why would you need to know this… unless?

You’ve been going back and forth like a tennis ball on this for 77 pages now…. Just do it.

Either blue or purple will work fine so long as you use it extremely sparingly (grain of sand size drop/particle). The fastener is so small, it doesn’t matter enough to matter. Again, a correctly made, good condition hex key is absolutely the most important requirement.

Yeah, what Archer1440 says.

It’s a significant purchase after dropping over $800 on a gun that still isn’t right. And I’ve yet to see one in the wild.

Is that the M66?

Ditto. I love P-F and LittleLebowski, but not enough to not have my settings so I can read as many posts as possible without reloading the page.

Ooookay… how about “seven hundred and sixty-something messages later…”
