Yugo SKS front site adjustment

[cwalker3]

Has anyone else noticed that the front site adjustment tool won't fit on the Yugo without some grinding? I wanted to see if mine would move before I took it to the range, but found that the grenade launcher blocks the tool from setting over the adjustment pin. Looks like I'm going to have to grind about a 1/16" off of the tool in order to make it work.

Didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out.

Dear Sirs-Are you referring to the C-clamp sight tool?If so,how does the grenade launcher sight get in the way?Is it possible to use the sight tool with the grenade launcher sight up?Would it be possible to use a brass punch and wood?Would not ask,but I'd hate to modify a sight tool for just one gun.Any info greatly appreciated!:)-Gearhead

Yep, the C-clamp tool. Maybe it's just mine, I don't know. I tried it with the site up and down and it wouldn't fit. You don't need to take off much and it won't affect it's use on your other rifles. And you could also ream the hole in the tool as opposed to grinding off of the top. Either way will work with mine.
