The thread on scoping lever guns reminded me of a peeve I have about them:
Does any one know of a tool to drift the rear sight blade on rifles? I have several that have rear sights that are adjustable for elevation with screws and a movable blade, very precise adjustment possible.
But the windage.....uuuggghhhhh. What do you mean pound it sideways!!!???? Yeah, real precise. Not to mention what can happen if you slip with the hammer or punch. Thing is I like the sight pictures on these guns, and I don't want to change them.
THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME TYPE OF PRESS DEVICE TO DO THIS DOESN'T THERE???
THIS HAS BEEN DRIVING ME BATS FOR YEARS NOW, and all the local gun shops just say "Nope, no tool, just drift it carefully."
PLEASE tell me someone here has an answer.
