    Adjusting AR-15 sights

    I've got a Tippmann here that I've binned the factory sights and installed the sights that came on my Sig 516 (ahh..the memories...)
    I never used them on the Sig as I ran a scope so I'm trying to figure out how to sight them in.
    Windage is easy but from what I understand elevation is adjusted by adjusting the front post. Is there a special tool I'm missing to do this? Or can I just grab it with some pliers or something and start twisting away?

    That image looks like it has a detention pin allowing for quarter turn adjustments. ,I can’t tell you how to adjust it but however that is done, screwing it down will raise your shot placement and screwing it up will drop the shot placement.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt

    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Sounds like the advice I've received from several Govt departments lately. So helpful...

    But, in this case it's right - you can get a poncy tool to depress the retention pin and then turn the sight post nut which should be a squared post arrangement with threads on the corners of the square. The nut is captive, the post moves up and down inside it's square hole - I can't recall the adjustment steps off the top of my head but that's how the bog standard one worked. If you were cunning and patient you could wrangle a 'fine adjustment' buy unscrewing the post and turning it a quarter turn or a half etc and then screwing it back in...
