TECHSIGHTS Adjustment Tools

I discovered at the range last weekend that one thing you will absolutely need when you install your TechSIGHTS are a couple of very simple and inexpensive adjustment tools. Without them it's very difficult to adjust the sights without marring the finish, though I was able to after some effort with the TechSIGHTS on my 10/22. The tool shown above will adjust rear windage and front sight elevation. The tool goes for $7.95 from TechSIGHTS and makes front sight removal, installation and adjustment a cinch.

Above is a photo I took of the stock sight and on it's left, the TechSIGHTS replacement. It's much narrower and taller, which should make for refined sight adjustment. I'm sure it will be well worth the $5 investment (check out my March 24th post for more info).

To install or adjust the front sight, simply drop the sight adjustment tool through the hole in the sight hood. Two sides are flat, so once the tool fits over the sight, it easily rotates the sight in or out (up or down). I was actually amazed how easily the old sight rotated out of the threads. I'm notorious for snapping off screws, but I'm happy to say that tonight I wasn't up to my usual form. The sight came out in tact thanks to this simple tool.

This little gadget goes for a whopping $5 and made an almost impossible task easy. I tried to rotate the rear sight at the range but couldn't do it without making a mess of the finish. The wrench has a tiny hook that slips over the adjuster and the thing just spins. It should now be a breeze to adjust the elevation. This gadget is a must. It's also capable of adjusting the rear windage in a pinch.

The front sight adjusting tool is similar to an M16 sight adjuster, but slightly smaller. I tried a M16 tool at the range and the pins were slightly too big. This one fits. I highly recommend ordering these tools when you order your sight, and they will only add $12.95 to the bill. Here's the link where they can be ordered. http://www.tech-sights.com/, then click 'Accessories' in the left column.
