Front Sight Adjustment British Enfield No 4 Mk1

[roughpasture243]

Hello everyone! I wanted to sight in my front sight on my Enfield. I really want to shoot a deer next season with a military surplus rifle. I saw this cool video on YouTube that uses a special tool. Has anyone else used this? Could I just use a Brass punch?

Be careful. WWII military rifles in original configuration are bringing a very good price right now. Don't mess it up. I would suggest spending the money for a C-clamp style front sight pusher. You could probably make your own pusher by changing a carpenter C-clamp if you're handy. Pounding on a brass punch might work but I strongly suspect that blade will be rusted in place and stubborn to move. You're liable to bugger it up.
