    AK windage adjustment problem

    So I have a heavily modified saiga 7.62 which more or less is a decent AK-104 clone at the moment. I took it to the range yesterday for the first time since I had the rifle refinished about 8 months ago. It was shooting low and to the right. I have a cheapo front sight tool/pusher which normally works on my other AK type rifles fine. However due to the unique front sight gas block combo I cannot get the tool to clear in any form to adjust windage. It was pretty disappointing take the rifle out and having it shoot to the right by about a foot and no way to adjust it. Any suggestions? Below is what I have,

    You should post a link to the FRONTSIGHT POST you have so we can see why your tool won't work...the russians hit em with rocks or hammers to adjust windage...says so in one of my manuals.

        From the looks of the front sight, you might have to grind off some material from your tool to fit properly, dremel will do the trick.
        The stuff that goes boom.

          This is what I would do.
          There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
          The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
          The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
          The others, well......they just never learn.

            You could get a windage adjustable rpk rear sight if you want too. Just leave the front sight centered.

              I used this for my WASR22. I had the adjustment tool like the one you had and it would fit.

                I use the B-Square. And I use a caliper to measure how far the B-Square moves my post. With a little math, you can know how far to move your post.

                  Get a brass tap and plastic hammer and push it that way.
