[ARCHIVED THREAD] - So how do I get the A2 sight tool to work?

I keep pressing and pressing , but it won't push the pin down far enough . The only way i can get it to work is to pus the pin down with a bullet tip and thn adjust one click at a time .
I was hopeing it would be a nice push and go type thing .

It should work unless the legs on your sight tool are too short.

The several that I have have all worked just fine.

I guess the legs are to short than . Maybe I should contact Delton and see what they say.

Is it a standard front sight post? Sometimes you have to drill out the inside of the tool.

So the taller front sight post, may not work with the sight adjustment tool.

I going to have to try that. I forgot my tool when I was sighting in the 16" so i just used a bullet, the tool was just one of those impluse buys to try and justfy shipping.

Either too tall or too big around like the Trijicon blade front sights. Just drill the hole in the tool deeper.

Might try a little lube on the front sight detent and spring as well. A drop of lube, and moving the spring and detent up and down with a punch might loosen things up and make it easier.

Ding ding . We have a winner . I was going to get Alaska shipping anyway when I grabed my phantom . I figured I might as well get the sight tool to keep in my cleaning kit .

I tried the oil trick didn't work . Just for information purposes the sight is on a RRA TASC rifle . I guess I will just drill the hole a little deeper than .

I got it figured out last night . One of the pongs was bent just enough to keep it from working right . I little bend with pliers and she does just fine now . :)
