Novak sight set screw?

[jay1313g]

I bought a CZ PCR back in the spring and I've probably put 500 rounds through it. It's a great shooter but I was cleaning it after shooting last weekend and noticed the rear sight had about 1/8" play in it. It is a Novak style sight and has a round hole in the top. Is there supposed to be a set screw in the hole to hold it still?

I called CZ and they are willing to send me a replacement sight but asked me to remove the current one and give him a number off the bottom that will tell him the heighth. (I didn't want to remove this one until the new one arrived.)

Does anyone here have a PCR and can you tell me if there is a clearly visible set screw going down through the rear sight?

Thanks,

Jay

On any Novak style rear sight there should be a set screw in it.

Some of them are a pretty short screw in a deep hole and it's a little hard to see.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried a 1.5 mm allen wrench in it today and tightened it up so the side to side movement is now gone. This will give me another reason to go to the range to make sure it is adjusted correctly. Ha.. Ha....

Once you get it set to POA, remove the set screw, clean the threads with alcohol, and put a drop of blue Loc-Tite on the threads. Tighten enough so the sight won't move and forget about it. I've had to do this to all my sights of that type. I keep several set screws handy for friends that lose them.
