find a elcheapo made in taiwan 3/8 inch open end wrench (you actually need the cheap 1 a good wrench wont work)
grind some meat off the bottom of the wrench till its .100 thick



now take a hammer and beat the bottom jaw till it points to the top (this is why you cant use a us made wrench good steal wont bend lol)



now just cut the lower jaw off .200 long and your done



some wrenches you will need to remove alittle off the top jaw aswell (for clearence) but most you dont

Dude, some of us are stupid (I won't name names).

How in the hell are you going to remove a sight with that?

Break it down for the short bus crowd. I'm visualizing, but I may be way wrong.

its to remove the rear site from the rear site base
you stick it in the gas tube retainer slot and and lift
it holds down the spring so you can remove the rear site

Ok. The short, bent end (facing rear of rifle?) goes into the gap between the sight leaf & block and pushes down on the spring. Is that correct?

I like it.

There is also a method that involves a flathead screwdriver, a sock and a hammer.

to remove sight, slip sock over the sight a little, so the sight is mostly inside the sock. close the sight, so it pinches the sock. Now set the ak receiver on your table, upright, with trigger guard hanging down off the table. hold ak there tight. put screwdriver against front of sight leaf, angled backwards. (towards the back) now WACK it with the hammer. sight flys off at a billion miles an hour because spring is THAT strong. sock catches "projectile".


to reinstall, slip leaf in till it stops, lift slightly, and wack with hammer in the back to front direction.... Make sure it is in the groove before you wack it.

That is how the russian armorers do it, I garuntee!!!

sorry for thread hijacking, socandy man, that IS a good design. I just ahd to give my WECSOG tip for today.
