Rifle Scopes Front Iris Aperture Sight

[Alamo308]

I recently installed this front sight on my Palma rifle: http://www.champchoice.com/prod-ANS_FRONT_IRIS_W_HORIZ_BAR__2_5_5_0mm__18mm_-1441.aspx.
However, with the sight screwed on totally snug, the horizontal bar aligns <span style="font-style: italic">vertically</span>.
Is there a trick to get it aligned horizontally?

Re: Front Iris Aperture Sight

There is a nut that stops it from rotating further. It is visible in the picture (the piece with the little square notches). Those notches are for a spanner wrench, which it probably came with. Back the nut out a bit, tighten, see where you're at, and repeat.

They are kind of a pain in the ass to align, and tend to loosen up after a while, so I've started using a drop of loctite on mine instead of using the nut.
