Title: Tech Sight Windage adjuster
Post by: Burrito Hand Sam on June 08, 2014, 04:34:12 PM
I have the Daniels Defense A1.5 on my AR15,  I replaced the Windage adjuster with the DPMS Rapidex Knob.  It used a 1/16 roll pin.  The Tech Sight seems to have a smaller roll pin.  I'm using a Snap-On roll pin punch that measures to the correct diameter. I would really like to install a Rapidex Knob on the tech sights.  It has 10 adjustments per rotation vs the 5 on the tech sight.

Somewhere on here there's a thread on how to do this. I want to say they're Winchester rapid adjustment knobs but I don't remember since I didn't convert mine. I'll loop in my buddy DryFire. He'll know.

I put rapidex knobs on both of my 10/22 LTRs. I utilized a cut off finish nail/brad nail to drive the existing pin out. If I remember right I then also re-used the pin with the new knob. The fun part was compressing the spring while also lining up the holes. I resorted to utilizing a clamp to compress the spring and hold the knob on while I drove the pin.

Now, if only there was a Rapidex knob for elevation...

That is just what Iwas thinking.  The little wrench is a pain.  I use the screwdriver on the leatherman to turn the wheel.

Yup.  On my SKS, I use the tip of a bullet.  It's just so slow.

I plan on painting the groves different colors as well to make it easire to see if it has moved or just slipped.  On the SKS I think it may just be easier to use the front sight to adjust elevation.  I have it installed I now need time to SHOOT it.  :wb:
