God ..oh no, another noob question.... Refer to sticky!!!!!!!!
Ok, went shooting on Sunday and I need to drop the front sight on the sks, I know it screws in but dammmm, just can't get anything small enough in the top hole or through the side without buggering the threads..... Is there a tool? Or do I have to make one.....
Thanks for your patience on "noob Monday"

You will need a tool. Google SKS sight tool. The benefit of having it, is you can make your main elevation and windage adjustments for zero at the front sight, then use the rear adjustment as needed for range. Prices range from ~$10-30.

HiCal has the Tapco one for $28. Sold out of the $16 one...

Cut a groove in the end of a bolt with a mini grinder and a cutting wheel.
