Default Am I missing a screw?

I just moved my fixed sights to my 15OR and was going to head out to zero in later today. After taking a closer look, I realized I could slightly "twist" the actual sighting part back and forth about 1/8". I don't think I'm supposed to be able to do this. Then I looked and believe I might be missing a screw. Is that the case? Should there be a screw up front holding the sight in place? Thanks all.

no, you're not missing a screw. That's the way mine look, too.

Thanks. Is the left to right play normal then? Guess I've just never noticed it before.

Yep, as long as it returns back to the same spot when you're done wiggling it it around. Mine did the same thing.

I personally don't know you well enough to gauge whether or not you are missing a screw...

If you're missing a screw, you've come to the right place.

Or even if it's just loose.

Probably somewhere between missing a screw and having a screw loose.

These ARs are going to push me over the edge... (in a good way of course)

Get your flashlight out. There's a 1/16" Allen screw at the bottom of this hole that keeps the two halves of the elevation wheel together. Only accessible with the sight all the way down.

Highly unlikely it's missing. No reason to mess with it on the M&P15-22 but it's necessary loosen it to change the M16/M4 sight range wheel to read less than 300 meters for Improved Battlesight Zero.
