Confused '03 newbie, first time on forum. Trying to bring back an '03. Remington, #3050xxx, (bbl RA, cartouche, 2-42). All the metal seems Remington, "R" stamps on everything; bolt, trigger guard, buttplate. I'm having to replace the sights, front & rear, rear sight collar and the upper barrel band. Everything's going together fine except the rear sight installation. Windage screw installed properly. Rear sight on stud, off to left and swiveled into the windage screw on left side and screwed on, turning screw clockwise. That's not working. Is there a trick or am I doing something wrong?? I don't want to force it on and ruin the threads on the sight or the screw. I have Poyer's book. I'm not trying for A-! perfection just a solid '03. Wood has no markings at all, all over check with magnifing glass. Strange ,,, yes?,,,,, no?
Thanks for listening,
Isom
