Anyone know how to move the front sight on a SAR-1? I'm asking for a friend. :?:

I'd have to double check to be sure, but I recall it is similar to the front sight on an SKS. You can use a simple drift and mallet to move it, but the better way is with one of the relatively inexpensive front sight tools sold by TAPCO, Cheaper than Dirt, and others.

Thanks Rob, I'll pass it on.

Yep, use the front sight tool. You may need to soak the barrel (front sight base) in penetrating oil overnight before it'll budge though... I did.
