Sights for Ruger Mark III

**Champagne Lady** · September 1st, 2013, 05:32 PM

Good afternoon, all. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place for this but here goes. The last 3-4 times I've shot my Ruger Mark III I notice that the groupings are going left on the target. The front sight keeps coming loose and the screw on top of the rear sight is slightly elevated. My guess is that they're coming loose due to the recoil every time I shoot.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Next time I'm over at Heritage Guild, I'll have to ask their gunsmith to readjust the sights for me. I don't want to mess with them. Thanks & have a great weekend.

I had problems with the rear sight on my Mark III Hunter. It took a few tries for a permanent fix, but the gunsmith at Clayton's fixed it for good. I think they should be able to fix it at Heritage.
I love my Mark III, it's such fun to shoot and so accurate, it shows up right away if the sights start drifting.
Good luck!

If they come loose from recoil, this tells me you need thread lock on the screws. Use loctite blue. Put a drop on each screw, sight it in, tighten them down, wait about 1/2 hour for it to set and you should be good.
