Dear Editor,
Most units don’t have very good ways to keep sights like the M150 or
M68 secured to their weapons. If the sights work loose from the mounting
rail, they disappear in the field.
I’ve come up with a good method for securing sights that is easy, cheap,
and doesn’t interfere with the weapon. Here’s what you need:
± ±•±
wire rope, NSN 4010-01-151-6230
± ±•±
hex bolt, NSN 5305-00-576-6107
± ±•±
ring crimp, 5940-00-143-4794
Cut the wire rope
to 8 inches, leaving
the bolt ring on
the end.
For the M150,
thread the wire
through its front
in the channel
between the optic
and its mount.

For the M68,
thread the wire
through its
center hole at
its base.
Attach the ring crimp
to the end of the wire.
On either the
left or right side
of the handguard
rail, use the bolt
through the ring
crimp to secure
the wire to the
handguard.

Sights in
Sight
what a
day
that
was!
Hey! what
happened to
your sight?
remember
when you hit
the dirt?
my sight
came off
then.
Gee, this
isn’t going to
make me look
too good.
Editor’s note:
Nice idea, Sergeant.
Units, if you have trouble keeping your
sights in sight, try the Sergeant’s Fx.
