I picked up a very nice Remington 03A3 yesterday. Very clean.
My question is, how do you adjust the rear sight for elevation. It appears to me like you have to loosen a very small screw and slide the peep sight up and down a ramp ? Is this the case ?
One of the nice things about US military rifles is the fact that they have real adjustable sights. I own quite a few of the various mil-surp rifles that have surfaced over the last few years. Most have a rear sight that grossly adjusts for elevation and most require a punch and hammer to adjust the windage (if the sight isn't staked into place). It seems very unusual for me that the 03A3 would have a sight that requires a jewelers screwdriver to adjust for elevation but I can't seem to see any other way to adjust it.
