Front site is loose.

Hello. I have a K98 with a front site that slides freely in the dovetail. Is there a way to tighten up the dovetail a bit?
Or other solutions?

Usually you will see the front sight staked with a small chisel across the blade base and front and rear top edges of the dovetail when it is in correct alignment. It can still be moved with a punch if needed. Also if done in the correct windage position, the staked line mark can be a reference to reposition back inline again should the sight get bumped loose.
