Title: R51 FRONT SIGHT
Post by: thomaswhitman on April 26, 2020, 05:19:39 PM
Hey all:  Noticed front sight of new R-51 was not centered and off to the right just enough to see that it was off center. Didn't measure but looks about +1mm. Removed the set screw and with a 1/2" wooden dowel and a rubber hammer, tried lightly to shift the sight slightly left. I didn't want to apply too much pressure but it would not budge. Any ideas?  Thanks,  Thomas

You can check out Dawson's you tube video.
I'm getting ready to order a couple front sights from him for both my R51's
