I had no intention of hurting any feelings. (Getting to be a
curmudgeon in my old age, I guess).
If you can't find a reasonable priced adjustment tool (I got mine at a
yard sale 35+ years ago for about $5) a serviceable one can be made
with a C-clamp. (A 4" is about right). Pad the fixed end, then remove
the disk from the threaded part. pad the small end with leather and
place to the sight. Put the larger (fixed) side on the oposite side of
the barrel and turn the handle. A little bit goes a long way. This is
much more precise than you get with a hammer.

Rider
