Pretty sure if you call Bowers they will get a sight tool for you.




Buy Local, Helps to Keep people from having to move to get a job.
:D

Bowers has them in stock, last time I was in.

Congrats on the new toy RonDog! In case you haven't noticed, they are addicting!

Cool, thanks! I've heard of Bowers but never been there. Close to home too.

Bowers would probably have one in store [Coffee]

shoulda read more pages.

I have to admit after years of just using the bullet, nail or multi-tool to adjust the front sight, I caved and bought a sight tool, it's a ton easier than the other ways, kinda kicked myself for not buying a few 10+ years ago!

But yes, Mike should have them in the shop, if not that someone need to kick Rob in the big toe and get him back to ordering parts!

It's probably stiff because the sight body is plastic and there's some tension on it. In a case like that the tool is probably your best bet.

Having said that, I should probably get one myself since I haven't zeroed the backups on that rifle I have a set on. Hope Bowers has a couple....

Using a small nail sounds pretty good. I use a small jewelers screwdriver that I can buy at any hardware or Dollar store. Without those tools or a store bought front sight turner, a bullet tip will have to do. You can also make a front sight turner by making little indents in the neck of a spent 223 shell casing. I haven't made one myself yet , but I've read that it is doable.

Poking the little pin down isn't a problem, it's turning the sight post itself. My fingers are too fat to get ahold of it, and I don't want to scar things all up with nails & such. I'll just go by Bower's and buy the correct tool. I spent $800 on the rifle, I think I can spend another $8 on the tool so I don't fawk up the rifle! I'm a cheap bastard, but not that cheap.

Bowers had a selection of tools when I was in yesterday.
