| Is there a tool to adjust the front sight? |
|
Yes, Just about every company that sells AR parts has the front sight adjustment tool. It looks like a round knob with some square teeth on the small end to depress the front sight pin. There are specific tools for the A2 square front sight and A1 round sight. Some models even have combined the two. www.del-ton.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=sight+tool&Search.x=0&Search.y=0 www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=2131 These are just two examples I found, but almost everyone stocks them.

Agree with all the above. The original front sight and rear sight were designed to be adjusted with the point of a bullet. The A1 style front sights with the round post, have five detent slots; the A2 style with the square post, have four detent slots. You can do it with any sort of pointy thingy; the tools make it much easier. |
