FRONT BEAD
1 - 17 of 17 Posts
well I've gone and done it! i had a product that said LOCTITE on the package but ALSO said super glue!---and the package and the plastic bottle had a lot of blue coloring on it etc. So i thought that was blue LOCTITE---WRONG---it was a clear substance--super glue! Soooo because it dried so quickly AND because i fumbled around with my arthritic fingers--i didn't get it screwed ALL THE WAY in! So now im wondering---first of all its unmovable---and i tried REAL hot water and that didn't loosen it. And im wondering if i used a soldering iron so i can concentrate the heat in one specific spot---but im afraid of melting the 2 "plastic" white pieces on the front bead etc. first of all it isn't going anywhere, like i said its unmovable--and its less than 1/16" above the rib(and the rib is metal not carbon fiber) and its perfectly straight in its positioning and i can shoot it like it is. WHAT would you do if this happened to you(and i know probably no one else would do such a thing)?
please advise and thanks in advance

There is a solvent available that can dissolve super glue. Maybe someone will chime in on ether or not it’s a good idea to use it on your barrels.
Beads are tiny and if you have arthritis it might be best to have a gunsmith do it. I know it’s a pain in the butt to have pay to have something little done but sometimes in life we have limits.
Where are you located?

st louis area--and we have MIDWEST GUN WORKS near us--they are an authorized Beretta dealer/warranty facility. so if i shoot this gun and it breaks skeet targets--then no worries--but if not, then i will drop in on MGW and let them fix the front bead issue etc. it is a combo gun so i can use the 28 gauge barrel until such time that the 20 gauge issue is rectified! anyway i was just wondering about heating up the rib and sight post so i could loosen the sight and start this process over--SO im still interested in any feedback on that question and THANKIS in advance

Acetone is nail polish remover. Lol
well the nail polish remover(acetone) did the trick! it wasn't easy but i figured it out and got all the super glue dissolved etc I have 2 new replacement sights ordered from MGW and i should be up and running in a day or so! A friend has BLUE LOCTITE and ill let him do the honors of installing the new one. thanks for all the help along the way
this should be my last post on this subject--was able to use the original front sight(the one with white dots on both sides) The 2 replacement(i thought) sights that i ordered from MGW(which also have white dots on both sides) were a lot smaller than the original one so i was glad i was able to use the original one after i got the whole super glue/blue LOCTITE issue rectified! I still like to buy spare parts for the shotguns i shoot so i will try again to get a couple "replacement" sights--somewhere. i thing measuring them etc will make it easier to find the match. ANYWAY
