Attempting to install a Rice peep, need some help

[andiarisaka]

I only use the three on back. A friend of mine uses his in competition and tells me the little adjusting screws come loose during rapid fire. A drop of blue Loc-Tite might be in order. I guess mine is an example of one that formerly had a rivet and yours is meant for the extractor with a screw.

I think you're right there. Mine has a recessed bit on the top of the extractor that fits the screw head pretty nicely. In the link to the bolt disassembly you gave me it looks like his extractor has the recessed bit on the underside which fits the head of the pin pretty nicely. I'm about 100% sure that the screw I got with the sight is not the original as it's too long and it was only threaded about 1/3 of the way up the screw, which is partly why Iwas having fits trying to figure out how it went together. Looks like I'm off to the hardware store for a shorter and fully threaded screw and some Loc-Tite. Thanks for the help!
