HEADHUNTER 0 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I know that they are listed as being a weld on option, but could the H.K. style sights for the s-12 be J.B. welded on? I figure if you get something welded on you'd have to do a refinish job, but J.B. weld is a little mixing and press to fit. Would this work well enough to stay on through repeated .00 buck and slug rounds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would this work well enough to stay on through repeated .00 buck and slug rounds? I got my HK sights from RTG parts... with the virgin base. I had them welded on locally and am awaiting refinishing... I am hoping there is enough adjustment in them to make them hit POA/POI! Kinda worried about that...

Azrial 1,091 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well I have not done any myself, but I can tell you that the pros weld them on... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raoul_Duke 113 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I would doubt it would hold. Plus, if it flew off, you could end up catching it with your forehead! Maybe not, but it would be funny to watch if it did . . . Try at your own risk! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I welded mine and used a laser bore sighter to make sure they lined up, and I could adjust the difference,. heat affects/weakens all epoxy bonds, just find someone that welds, it is not that hard to do,.. or try the JB weld, and let us know how it works,..

49gmc 3 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 JB weld is some badass shit. I think if you bead blasted the mating surfaces it would be worth a shot. Just mask off the rest of the cover and give it a try. I'm a 4th year Mechanical Engineering at the old GMI (now Kettering U.) student and have used JB weld with great sucess over the years. Worst case it comes off and you get it welded on later. just my .02 c 49gmc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
