Fellas, I'm at a lose. I have a Auto-Ordnance Thompson M1 that I SBRed years ago. The sight is held on with 4 screws that will not stay tight. Usually after 2 magazines they will loosen up and I actually lost one of the screws yesterday while at the range. I have used blue loctite, red loctite, and even had my buddy tac tig them on, and they STILL manage to rattle loose. Is there a rivet option that would work? I'm not a Thompson expert, but I would assume that the sight had to have been riveted on originally. No way the GIs were having this issue...

Thanks for yals advice
