Tweeking front sight on an SAA
« on: July 02, 2006, 10:17:33 PM »
I have an Italian repro clone that shoots to the left.  Front sight appears to list slightly to the right so I would like to bend it just a smidge back left.  What are some methods you have used to carefully make a slight adjustment?

I would give mine to a good gunsmith.  That's the most careful way to get the barrel turned.  :D

As Camille said, it would be better to get the barrel turned to correct the problem.

Have your wife whallop you on the same side of your head with your '66 Win. rifle butttstock so that you will forever list to the correct side thereby compensating for the front sight.  ;D Couldn't resist that, C.F.! ;D

Guess I will turn the barrel a smidge.  I know how to do it safely and have a '58 Remington that needs it too.  Sounds like a good article for The Shootist, turning and making your own action wrench, much cheaper than the $90 Brownells gets for one.
