ZackJones Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The subject pretty much sums up my question - does any one know the size of the allen head holding the rear sight in place? I have one that will work in a pinch but would prefer to use the proper size. Somehow my rear sight has worked its way left and I need to recenter it and put some locktight on it to keep it in place.

Jhp147 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The manual says 1/16th inch Allen wrench. I hear that the problems come up when you use a cheaper grade wrench that is not held to spec as well as a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I didn't look close enough. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are loose some are perfect. I also picked up a wrench and screw set at Speed Shooter Specialties for spares. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackJones Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks everyone! I bought a set of wrenches and was able to loosen the screw and adjust as needed so I'm good to go now. I'm going to verify sight alignment this week and then put some blue locktite on the screw to keep things in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
