Iron sights keep raising

[wikedeye]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question.

I took my new saint victor to the range to zero a red dot and break it in. Everything works well except the rear iron sight keeps lifting up after about 15 rounds, or so. It doesn't feel loose if I try to manually lift it. Anyone have a suggestion on what I can do to prevent this from happening? I don't want to tighten it so much that I can't manually do it, but it's getting in the way.

On my shotgun I just used duct tape.

Sorry could not help myself lol.

Unless you are a leftie, that Kel-Tec should be on the other side of the stock. Rest of home defense shotgun looks spot-on. No one ever called me a saint and I don’t don’t own one, so can’t assist there.

Are these flip up sights like MBUIS or similar ?

Get a better BUIS set than provided by SA.

The ones i got have a button you have to push to raise them. Is the button stuck in? It should be popprd out like the front one.

They are the flip up ones that came with it.

Yes, it's the ones with a button. The button is not stuck and works properly. It just flips up from the vibration when firing.

Contact SA and have them send you a new BUIS. That should be an easy fix for them.
If you’re going to actually use those sights then you may want to consider a higher quality BUIS than the ones that come with the Saint.

Do you have any adjustment on the spring? Seems like it weak or boogered

Call SA they will probably send you a new one or go buy a set of magpuls. UTG makes a good set at a good price.

I'm going to report you to DCF for that. (Dept. of Care for Firearms)

Probably Chinese.

Buy some Magpuls. Or better yet, Ultradynes.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry, I don't have anything else to add.


Thank you for your indulgence,
