555JM 10 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi, Newby making first post here. Picked up a x39 Saiga today and am trying to figure out how to adjust the sights. From what I can glean from the service manual, adjustments are all made with the front sight. The post screws in and out for elevation changes and moves left and right for windage. The SM also refers to a sight adjustment tool which I don't have. The bottom of the post looks like it is slotted but with a hole in the center. Does it require a small right-angle screw driver? What keeps it tight once elevation is set? Are windage adjustments made by drifting the cylindrical piece the post rides in? Before butchering the sight with some trial and error approach, I thought I'd ask how to go about this. Thanks. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
