I need to adjust the front sight of my Enfield, but there is a strange screw holding the front sight tight. It is like a mirror image of a straight slot screw. with a raised ridge down the middle instead of a slot cut in it. Where can I get a tool to loosen this screw?

I made mine but they can be bought from arrowmark - do a google search for them as they make the specific tool.

Found out that the tool for removing the cores from a tire valve fit the thing perfect!

And got one for 6 bucks shipped on Fleabay. :bigrin:
