What do you actually need?
I am in Dunedin and have a fair bit of experience with open sights. What are you trying to do?

Well I got the goddamn white beard for it now as well as the guns...
Pretty easy to adjust yourself depending on the type you have fitted,usually in a dovetail of some sort,all you need is a hammer and punch,move rear sight the way you want bullet impact to move to ,do the opposite to the front sight.lower front sight to raise impact,raise it to lower point of impact.
And remember that the sights go on from right to left when putting them back on. This is when you looking from the butt of the rifle

How can we overcome any misunderstanding?
At the risk of shootersplaining, Sam, message Carlson. He is broadly okay and will sort you out for the pleasue of the conversation.
