FR8 Sight Ajdusting Tool
« on: August 17, 2006, 01:42:29 PM »
Does anyone have a quick way of making a front sight adjusting tool for a Spanish FR8? The rear sight has four positions, obstensibly for 100, 200, 300 and 400 meters (I think). Fine adjustments for elevation and windage adjustments are made to the front sight...the post on the front sight is offset so that it will move from side to side when the sight is screwed in or out.

Couldn't seem to find one for sale, but looks like it would be easy to make, easier if I already had the right dimensions.

Thanks,
Roudy

TAPCO used to sell them for the CETME, check their webpage.  I used to have a FR-8 and ordered one from them.  It worked just fine.
