Title: Tech Sight adjustment tool
Post by: Scout82 on February 21, 2011, 08:49:58 AM
Hello,
I will be going to the Winterseed event this weekend in Lapeer.  I have ordered, received, and installed my tech sights
(t-200 model).  I was going to sight in my rifle before this weekend, but then I remembered that I did not have or order
the adjustment tool.  I have since ordered the adjustment tool, but I don't know if I will get it in time for the AS shoot.

To any of you that are attending this weekend, will anyone be bringing this tool with them?

Thanks,
Scout82

I think the model sight you have is the like the one I have on my Marlin 795.  I took an old bamboo chop stick and cut the end to fit into the 'wheel' on the elevation adjuster, make it the same thickness as the 'wheel'.  I use the sight base housing as a fulcrum and 'lever' the wheel to the needed adjustment.  If  you cut the stick in half you can make two and I painted it so I could find it on the ground when it gets dropped.  Bamboo is tougher than most wood.  The elevation adjuster can be turned by hand easily I found.

A funny thing happened to me once at an Appleseed.  I asked for an AR15 A2 front site adjustment tool.  (Also works with tech sites)  I looked back down at the Rifle and get hit in the head with not one, but two tools.  The really funny thing was...  They were both a little different too.

If I had to guess I would say there will be more than two tools in Lapeer next Michigan.  (Hmm...  I'll have mine and I know ITB will have his)

Your covered.

I'm really looking forward to next weekend and reconneting with my SEMI roots.

See you next weekend...

Thanks.
I did buy an ar-15 sight adjustment tool, but it did not fit on my tech-sights.
Must have been the wrong one.

Ohh well, still very excited to get there this weekend.  I sure hope the snow storm
doesn't hit on friday.

Hey Scout

I'll bring mine too.  If you have a 10/22 then we have the same sights and the adj tool i have will work on it.

As far as height adj on rear sight ...I just use a small slotted screwdriver to make my adjustments.

See ya on the Trail.
