Aligning sights, on the new (old) CZ

[Aka Zero]

Used my C&R for the first time. A CZ-82 became the little older brother to my CZ75B-SA.

But the rear sight it about a millimeter to the right. Standard dovetail fixed sights, how do you adjust these. Hammer? Clamp? Special tool?

Haven't had a chance to see how far it shoots to the right, But I am guessing just by eying it it's not near that far.

Love the gun so far, Love 9mm mak guns (friends p-63 is fun to shoot) And will probably buy some gunkote for this, make it looks new.

Hammer and a brass punch.

The punch is softer than the steel, so you don't bend anything. Put it at the base of the sight and tap it just hard enough to move it.

Buy or borrow a bore sighter if you can. I wouldn't trust it to be dead on, but it will let you check and home and get you close enough to test it.

Deus Machina is correct as to how to adjust a fixed rear sight, but I would not do so unless and until you've fired the gun to check point of impact. It is possible that the rear sight was installed incorrectly to start with or shifted from its original position at a later date, but it also might have been purposely adjusted that way.
