Dboys AK-74S front sight misaligned
Just got the Dboys AK-74S (the metal and wood version) from Red Tiger and upon an inspection, the front sight appears to be fixed to the barrel at about 5-7 degrees angle relative to the axis of the gun. Because of that the back and the front sites don't align.
The front sight itself appears to be attached to the barrel with two pins on the underside of the sight, much like the real steel. Does anybody with experience with the Dboys AK-74 series know if these two pins can be simply taken out, the sight realigned and then repinned back in place? Or do the two pins reside in slits cut in the barrel itself, in which case I would be SOL since the angle of the sight cannot be ajusted then? Ideally I would like to hear somebody's advice first before I go ahead and either ask Red Tiger for a refund or try to extract the pins and possibly cause cosmetic damage to the sight only to find that the problem cannot be fixed that easily. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. |

Yes those two pins reside in slits cut in the barrel. Boys use real soft metal compound, *monkey metal* in there castings. When they installed the pins that are made of harder material, most likely it cut new position for front sight. If you going to remove it yourself I suggest using crappy drill that bit smaller then pin itself. Best way to fix it would be to drill and tap hole for set screw kind of like TM AK. If you decide to keep it and don’t have right tools PM me I would gladly help you out.
