VFC AK-74 Canted Front Sight
Looking for help with fixing a canted AK-74 front sight. My gun was shooting off to the right, yet it turns out the front sight is canted off to the left.
The majority of fixes for real steel AKs involve blow torches and machining new pins. I dont not have the capability of a machine shop.Is the a way to realign the front sight, short of using a sledge hammer? Thanks in advance for any and all help! Last edited by Debrief; June 5th, 2011 at 11:57.. |

I had the same issue with my Realsword Type 56. I had to remove the pins straighten the sight and loctite the front sight and re-drilled and re-pinned with a cordless drill. I've read some guys straighten the sight by covering the sight with cloth and hitting it with a hammer but I found it to be only a temporary fix.

Can anyone help me out with a step-by-step fix? Sorry, I'm completely out of water, and the local Gun Doc doesnt have the tools to fix it.

Main way I've seen of fixing is to redrill and repin check youtube for videos on canted front sights since a VFC front sight would be held together with Pins just like a real AK. Others methods I have heard about are brute force, Adding rails and using optics or a adjustable rear sight to compensate for the front sight being off. If the VFC AK-74 has a adjustable front sight you could get a front sight tool and move the front post all the way to one side.
Airsoft parts sells an adjustable rear sight with windage. http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...oducts_id=1092 |
