6. 'Fixing' The Sight In The Dovetail

Once 'fitted', you may notice small gaps about/around the sight, especially at/near the base.

I'm not sure, but I think this is usually because the angles don't exactly match.

In any case, you can 'fix' this using loctite.

Most suggest 'red' (permanent) to fill the gaps, but I'm not sure it matters; blue might work just as well, particularly on a .22.

Just a few drops around the base, perhaps one at each gap, usually does the trick. Most of the loctite will be wicked into the crevasses. What remains can be wiped off with a rag or cleaning patch (but quickly, or it will also remove the portion you want to stay in place).
