It seems to me that to much blame for poor fit has been laid upon the LPA mim sight itself. There are a few threads on the forum covering the subject and they all start out pretty much the same until someone starts thinking about the breech itself. Maybe I've just been lucky. I have 4 Crosman steel breeches, 3 long and 1 short. I have 3 mim sights that, with my tools all measure within. .002" in regards to the dovetail. Every one of them has a nice fit, no matter which breech I install the sight on.

On Peening the breech dovetail. Lay the breech down on a flat full length wood block and hit the top rear edge of the dovetail down in maybe three, or four spots with a small hammer with a wedge face, or you can also use a small, dulled off, cold chisel. This will collapse a little of the dovetail and make the fit tighter. If you go a little too tight you just use a three sided needle file for a couple of strokes to bring it to where it fits best.

On mine anyway the LPA was massively too small on all but one of my breeches, which is quite a snug fit.

Not really an issue though now because I can't seem to get anymore MIMs anyway  ;)
