Enfield No.1 Mk.3 Rear Sight Disassembly Question/HELP

[Mk VII]

People seem compelled to unscrew this item, and later it unscrews itself and falls off. I have been called on to replace this several times.

If it really is faulty (spring broken) then I replace the whole slider assembly with one taken from rusty/scrappy-grade sights - you only have to slide it off the other end of the leaf.
