Target sight adjustment slot length & width?
SOS: I have been unable to find any decent screwdrivers for the sight adjustment. Probably the same size for elevation & windage, so I need to modify a couple of mine. I have calipers & can read them, but can't see the slot enough to get the calipers in them without scratching everything. Wilson, Bo-mar, SA, Baer PII, & ED ET. Thanks in advance.

Re: Target sight adjustment slot length & width?
Many thanks for the info, Chris, I didn't even know that S&W made or sold screwdriver sets. I modded one of my Craftsman by lapping down the blade faces to the correct "fit like a glove" philosophy but the width was a tad too wide so I gave it to my shooting partner to grind down the sides a tad & he like lapping work so much he kept them and now claims he does not have it & that he does not remember me giving them to him. I'm working on a budget here, unfortunately. Time for a new screwdriver and a new shooting partner.

These bits are good for thin blades

But they are not real tough for torquing. They can twist at the tip.
If you want the best, get Snap-on electronics line

Re: Target sight adjustment slot length & width?
Many thanks, Chris. I ordered the 1 for 29.XX. I should have it by the 9th. E-Bay confirmed the order, so I guess it's mine. God Bless all. I was just getting ready to post up what a !@#$%^ it was modding a screwdriver & lapping the blade flats flat. My bud's going to ber super PO'd when I pull out my screwdriver at the range & adjust my sights. & tell him "no" because he has my original modded screwdriver.

Wonderful insights , thank you.
It sounds like to me that the FFIII might work in terms of budge and warranty.
It sounds like if I do an EGW mount I will avoid some issues.
Do you think I can shout them with a #13 recoil spring?
Sounds like, If I use a rib and mount it on the rib to test and If I like it then go full monty with the bomar mount.
