OK , here goes, I have a A-5 with a e-grip, and flatline.  I was doing some preventive maintenace.  I removed the flatline and after I cleaned and oiled. I put the flatline back on.  Now the screw that holds in the front sight is not threading at all.  I cant figure it out. The screws that goes there is the same as the one below it. I inspected the screws and the threads look good. I tried to thread the screw from the opposite side to check the nut on the other end and it went in perfect.  Its like all of a sudden the screw is to small now.  I even tried the other screw below it and there was no issue.  Is there a safe way to remove the nut on the feed side of the marker.  I need help bad, this screw does not stay put.

I don't know what it could be, maybe a bad screw?

I'd just leave the front site off, you don't really need it to aim.

Are you sure the washer didn't fall out of the other reciever half??  I have had that happen to me and didn't realize it until I put it back together.

....And yeah....Next time I will read the whole post before I reply and look like a moron....

maybe the Flatline barrel adaptor isn't seated properly, and it's causing enough of a gap that the screw won't grab.
