Folks, Sorry for such a lame question - but I want to be sure to use the right tool to loosen the front site screw if I need to make an adjustment for the initial sighting/zero.

 

The material which came with the Scout says a 3/16 socet head wrench...I tried a 3/16 hex wrench and it is much too big for the screw...I fitted a 7/64 hex and it fits in ok but not a great snug fit.

 

What type/size tool do you folks use to loosen the Front sight on your scouts...

 

Thanks,

-Joe

I find this kind of stuff all the time. In our "Global" economy I wouldn't be suprised if it was "Metric". Absolutely don't use a loose hex key.

Called SA - they confirmed it is 7/64 hex - sloppy fit though IMHO.

I dont know what size it is but I have one that fits my M1a. I will bring it this weekend if you need it.

Might as well just in case..Thanks!

Ill bring the M1A and the allen key even tough I cant shoot it yet. I may try with a folded up towel to absorb the recoil and see how bad it hurts:) I have a bunch of handloads I need to chrono so I can make more ammo!
