Hi made a very cheap forsight adjustment tool and it works a treat,,all you need is a 50mm g clamp
hack saw and a file,,at the static end of the clamp saw and file a recess 15mm approx so as to allow
the sight bed to move when you start to twist the screw in.hope this helps

I tried a very similar setup to adjust AK front sights.......it didn't budge them.I ended up acquiring an original Soviet sight adjusting tool and it worked perfectly.

Here is my sight adjuster Mk1, works equally well on iron and telescopic sights.

But when your fields are rich with the blood of your enemy's fallen, how do you reap what your mighty hammer has sown?
Also, nice tool!
