anyone have a favorite way of moving the ENTIRE front sight to the left?

This is leaning like the Tower of Pisa

Put and re-pin oversized or go with a set screw type sight. White oak Armament  has some.

There’s an easier way.
1. Remove pins.
2. Tap FS in the correct direction until it’s sufficiently centered.
3. Re-insert original pins.

Yeah, I know, it’s not supposed to work but it does. I’ve done it more than once. Soviet trick

thanks guys, i'll give it a try.

can you give me a link to what you refer? I cannot find anything.

If you are able to reinsert the original pins after doing this then it means that the pins didnt have the proper press fit and as a result the sight will be able to shift again if shocked hard enough  e.g. rifle gets dropped and hits FSB.

Yes it may work but the correct way to do it is to move up to the next size of pin after chasing the pin channel with a press fit reamer

ok, tackled the project the other day.

marked position of sight to barrel
drove the pins out "some" but not all the way
tapped sight over the direction needed.

shouldered looked down rear sight to front sight till it looked about right (yea I know a guess)

drove pins back in, (had to use a BFH and a large punch) it worked.

went out and test fired.


by golly I got it just perfect!

dead center left and right.

easy enough and got a little lucky to boot!

thanks guys.
