I have a 29-2 in 6" and the orange insert on the front site is loose. The insert is not broken. What should I use to tighten it up?

It's easy to recast a new one. Two part epoxy, mixed with a little orange paint and waxed popsicle sticks as a form.

Get a small tube of red Loc-Tite and, after de-greasing the front sight, simply force it into the gap from one side until it comes out the other and let it cure, them wipe the excess off the surface and oil. Being an anaerobic resin it will cure in the small gap while being in-affected on the surface that is exposed to air.

Not a guess, I have done this with a couple that had become loose from shrinking with age.
