Well, shooting a match today, I notice about half way through that the rear sight is sliding laterally in the dovetail... Screw it, finish the match, go home to fix it. In case anyone runs into the problem in the future, let me give some help... You're going to need a flat head screwdriver. Optional is a punch to remove the pin from the front of the rear sight. A 1.5 metric (what I used) Allen key. Grease, and a sweet high tech smithing block to drive the pin out without hitting the table. You don't need to take the top of the sight off... I did because, well I did, who cares. There is a spring in there so use caution and do not lose it or you're sight is worthless until it is replaced. Unscrew the elevation screw (on top of the sight). If you want to get the elevation close again, mark the sight. Luckily I scratched mine with the screwdriver so the mark happened to land in the right place... Yay. It will help if you press down on the rear of the sight to take pressure off the screw and detent. Mine was installed by Hercules. Eventually you will get this... Notice the spring in front of (toward barrel) the screw. Also, screw is directional, there is a fat side and a smaller side (at least mine was). If it falls out, put the larger diameter coil back into the sight. You will see two small Allen screws... Yay! You have arrived at the reason your sight is not fastened anymore. We have several options. I prefer not to use locktite on tiny screws like these. So, loosen the screws and slide the sight out, grab a non marring punch and a hammer if need be. Then get some vibratite, and put a bit on the dovetail or on the sight, and drive that sucker back in. The vibratite (or green locktite) should help hold the sight even without fasteners (I did this to my front sight as well). Tighten the allens, don't get all western on these suckers or you will strip them. Just tight enough with the short end of the Allen key Lastly, grab some aeroshel or other suitable grease and get it on the elevation screw, and on the detent area. Trust me, it's not going to make the elevation screw turn like butter once you get the sight elevation set. But I've had mine apart twice and the first time, I did not grease it, it was a bastard to get out again. Set elevation, you're done. Go confirm at the range.

I remember seeing something about this a long time ago but I cannot find the thread. Current setup: CZ SP-01 Shadow Target with factory FO front and BO MAR adjustable rear CZ SP-01 CZC Accu Shadow with HAJO rear and CZ Custom front FO sight. I would like to change the setup on both guns to have a Dawson FO front and CZ Adjustable BO MAR style rear sites. I like the current setup on the Shadow Target with regards to sight height, I just like the Dawson front better. The intent is to have a training gun and comp gun with the same sight setup. The rear sight part is easy and I have a local shop for the LPA cut but the front is more complicated and I'd like to get it right the first time if possible. What I need to do: Accu Shadow: remove my existing HAJO rear and CZ Custom front site and replace both Shadow Target: Just replace front sight These are the parts I want to use: Dawson Front site: https://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80001716-1388518374 CZ adjustable BO MAR style rear: http://czcustom.com/trtchampionlpacutts.aspx So what I'm looking for: 1) What height Dawson sight do I need to replicate the CZ factory FO sight off the Shadow Target. Dawson measures their sights differently than CZ so its not just a math the specs kind of deal. 2) Since the Target has a front sight roll pin and the Accu does not, can the same model sight be adapted to both guns. What parts/tools do I need to fit a sight to the Accu shadow? Thanks
