Are the rear sites meant to be able to be adjusted by finger for windage or do you have to use an allen wrench....? Mine can only adjuste by Allen and is a pain in the ass if you dont always have one around that small...thanks!

think he is using the sight pivot screw(hex screw) which is what is holding the sight on there and if you tighted the screw it would force the adjsustment wheel to turn and depress the detent.



i would not continue to do it that way since that is much stress on the screw which was only designed to hold the sight aperture in place.



use a tip of a bullet or a punch to depress the shiny detent that sits in one of the holes in the adjustment wheel and turn while depressing it.
