[QUOTE="Signut, post: 2291785, member: 7370"] A while back i bought an Arsenal SLR 107f AK47 rifle. The front sight is canted. Its bad enough that adjusting the front post alone would not be the best option as it would be allmost all the way to the left side. I have watched a few YouTube videos on the subject of correcting it but none of them explained exactly how it is that the "pins" that hold the front sight in place work to keep it in place? Do the pins make contact with the barrel thus preventing it from moving? Is it mere contact with the barrel or is there a channel cut in the bottom of the barrel that the pins make contact with? I'm not spooked about doing the work myself... i just like to understand how things work before i start taking them apart. The rifle has a flash hider and i see the detent that keeps it in place. That should come off pretty easy. Drilling out the pins is not an impossible job...i've had to do that at work quite a few times. If i get it set up to do with a drill press it should not be that hard. Another thing that makes me wonder is how you keep the front sight block straight and while i am pounding the new pins back into the holes? Any advice on this procedure would be appreciated. Thanks mike signut [/QUOTE]
