Yeah, I made a couple years ago. I used a 1/4" bolt partially threaded, maybe 4" long. I cut a notch in the threaded end with a hacksaw and doubled up blades so the notch would fit over the flats on the sight post. I then screwed a nut onto the bolt over the notch and brazed it in place. Then, I ground off most of the nut so it just left a collar aound the notched bolt. When I had the nut ground down far enough to fit in between the ears on the AK, I bent the bolt into a 90 degree angle. It works fine and didn't take more than a few minutes to make.

a crimped 5.56 case does the same thing, just won't last as long. (if just for the post elevation, etc.)

I just use a piece of wood dowel rod and a small hammer. You could easily make a tool with a small C clamp and a short metal sleeve that would fit over the end of the pin. Get it? |

One AK had paint or rust that made it very hard to screw up or down, after breaking two adjustment tools (standard type and the blue colored one) used a nice needle nose pliers and it works good.
