I put my new Copper Johns Dead Nuts Hunter sight on today and while I was installing it I was surprised at how tight you had to tighten things to get them to hold without moving. I mean the screws were creaking like crazy. The sound right when you overtighten something and break the head off of it, you know what I mean? Well anyway I got it done and sighted in and love my new sights. They are shooting wonderfully for me. Has anyone else ever had this to happen when installing these sights? Thanks

Be very careful when tightening copper john sights. I currently own a Dead nuts pro and managed to overtighten my windage adjustment on my bracket and stripped out the screw. You are better off putting some blue loc-tight (The blue stuff is the stuff that can be undone) on the screws to keep them tight. This is something to becareful of when using regular metal screws with aluminum, the screws are harder than the soft aluminum which then makes it easier to strip out the threads. But don't worry if you do strip them out, Copper John has great customer service and replaced my bracket for free even though I was the one who overtightened it.
