Need a front sight tool
by jakeg823 on Tue Nov 23, 2010 5:27 pm
Need a a2 front sight tool for my AR. Took it out today and windage is good but I'm hitting reallllllly high. Anyone know of anywhere in the Jackson area that keeps some?
I'll probably just order one but it's a $5-$7 tool....and shipping is always just as much from what I've found on it. So I'd rather just drive a few miles and pick one up

Or you could just use a cartridge to adjust it.

Yeah I actually just heard that from my sister's brother in law! Ha I'll probably just give that a try.

It works, I think it was designed to be adjusted with a cartridge. Kinda like a 1911 can be completely stripped down without tools.

I have a small (very) blade screwdriver I keep in my range bag for the purpose ... works well ...

Sorry, I was referring to the green-tipped M855 62gr penetrator cartridge. The bullet tip on is small enough to adjust the front site post.

Just poke the tip of the round in and turn the sight. Thats the way we did it in the Marines.
