   Put a drop of red loctite on it, then ping the ends with a small punch, after you slide it back in.

   That exact same thing happened to me, except we don’t get snow in Houston, but it was gone. I called Remington the other day and they are sending me a new one at no cost.

   The good side of having an adjustable front sight is just that it is adjustable. But the downside is that it is that the adjustable sights can fall off. It would seem to me that a fixed front sight is superior if the front sight is well enough located so that windage can be sufficiently adjusted from the rear. The standard Benelli M4 (not the new H2O version) has a fixed front sight. Greg Shaw’s solution of Red Loctite and staking the sides with a punch would in essence turn the adjustable front sight into a fixed sight. Red Loctite is really strong stuff. Several years ago a friend and I had to remove some damaged rocker arm studs, that had been screwed in with Red Loctite, from the engine of an old 1962 Corvette. We had to heat the cylinder heads with a blowtorch and chill the rocker arm studs with dry ice. Even then it took both of us tugging real hard on on a three foot long breaker bar to get the studs out!
