Sight adjustment

Hugh, I agree with Mike that you don't want to damage an otherwise matching collector grade LPO8 by damaging the fine tune sight screws. Actually, they were designed to be able to turn all the way out. TH

OK boys, I'll stop while I am ahead! Just wanted everything to work, but why mess up an otherwise fine piece of engineering. I will probably never shoot it, just bought it because its beautiful.

Sometimes its just healthy to have someone looking over your shoulder. Two heads and all that..........Hugh

I have come up with the best fine tuned sight adjusting tool
there is. E-Mail me at fatkat1936@comcast.net and Iwill send you pictures of it and tell you
where you can buy one.If you call me it would be even better.
My phone # is 1-(510)-523-6682
Thanks,George

P.S. This is not one of the cheap brass tools that the tips break off of.The original tools that they used 90 years ago don't work, as back then they were not rusted in place like they are now.

I have a copy of the original tool, but have decided to give up on the project. Thank you, Hugh
