I've broke a couple of the Tapco sight tools. The Magnamatic is a tank compared to every other sight tool on the market.

I gave up on AK sight adjustment tools, everyone I tried & I tried many over the decades bent & broke.
The small puller that came in a set of cheap Harbor Freight 3 jaw pullers I purchased works great though! |

A tiny socket and ratchet, maybe?

I go to the range with two. The magna matic I use for windage and, believe it or not, I have good luck with the Tapco tool for elevation.
I agree, bore sighting and new arsenal rifles seems to be a bit of a miss. |

I made my own from a pipe hanger to adjust drift and some bolts for the elevation. Works great.

As CarlosC said. Pipe hangers work very well. I had a couple of the imported tools break but these hangers haven't failed. The bolts that come with the hanger should be filed down where it contacts the sight stud or it will leave a mark. The threaded hole opposite the bolt needs to be drilled out large enough for the sight stud to slide into also.

I have NEVER gotten an AR or upper that was hitting a sheet of notebook paper at 50 yards so I shouldnt bitch too much. If only I was able to adjust the sight down....I just hope it doesnt break that Magna-Matic adjuster that I had to order! |

A C clamp and some small sockets will work in a pinch.

Quote HistoryThis. Pre-plague I would help out a a rifle safety class that required demonstrating the ability to hit targets at 50 yards. I've used that Magnamatic tool to break loose stubborn AK and SKS front sights that broke the cleaning kit tools with no wear or damage to the Magnamatic tool. If you want to buy one good tool that'll last your lifetime the Magnetic is the one. AJ |

If a magna-matic can't move the sight barrel its welded in there by mistake .

Maybe soak down the front sight with penetrating oil the day before you try to re sight it too.

That Magna-Matic worked beautifully. That front post tried to resist but to no avail. It popped when it finally broke lose. Same with the windage, gave a nice rewarding pop when it broke lose. Thanks again guys. Anything less than this tool and that front sight wouldn't have budged.
Oh and I did spray some WD40 on it a few days ago as suggested by the poster above which may have helped also... |
