Ajusting SKS sights

[lorne19]

My SKS is shooting a little to the right, and I need to adjust the sights. Do I need a SKS sight adjustment tool, or is there an easier way?

 

[kbracey]

SKS sight adjustment tool IS the easiest way! They're cheap and readily available. I sugest that evey one who owns an SKS should have one. In fact, some retailers provide an SKS sight adjustment tool as part of the sale package when you buy an SKS.

I suppose you could get away with something like parallel jawed needle nose pliers, or make up one yourself (hey, it's not rocket science), but the proper tool would be better anyways I would imagine.

I figure its best to buy one before spring time arrieves! Which one of our site sponsors carries them?

Perhaps you can check with Frontier. Got mine from them last year, and it was the better built one, of the two types available in the market. 14.00 shipped.

Frontier now sells it at $17.99 shipped. Marstar and Fabsports also sell this adjustment tool.

Or, I can sell you one with a broken shell extractor and gas port cleaning tool.

All brand new for $30 shipped.

How dose the gas port cleaning tool work.

 

[MapleSugar]

After the gas tube and piston are removed, it is inserted into the gas port from the top of the barrel and rotated to remove any built up carbon.

It is something that is not included with the cleaning kits that come with the rifles.
