another way to adjust your SKS front sight

[zeuce]

Ive seen all the tools that you can buy to adjust the front sight post and I got to thinking. I pull wrenches at a tire shop and all the tools I have seen look a lot like a tire core tool. Guess what? It works! You have to find a core tool that is for the larger farm/OTR valve stems and it has to have a hollow core inside it but if you find one like I have it works friggin perfect!

I expected this thread to be about hammers.

LOL hammers really?

Did that with an old screwdriver. Ground off the chewed up end, drilled out the center and then slotted with a dremmel. Takes about ten minutes. The screw driver handle provides good grip.

I hit up the yard sales and buy worn out tools for special tool fabrication. They can be had for pennies a pound. It's amazing what you can make with a welder, grinder, drill press and torch.

SKS is strong like wild bear. If ten inch group is off target, you throw SKS against rock or side of building, then try again. When group is near target, use hammer for fine adjustment.
