    Maybe 1996 I bought 3 SLR-95s. Still have one with canted front sight (front post nearly maxed to left). It is on at 50M.

    Was just going to drop dot ( having problems with iron sights now) but want to fix this. It itches.

    Who to do this? (SLR-95 bottom)

    INGO member @Clay fixed the sight on my Maadi several years ago. He's not around much these days though.

    If it zeroes, I'd say "nyet" but it's your itch to scratch. @AllenM has an excellent shop, though he's in Avon on Indy's west side.

    If you trust yourself with the DIY route, @indykid might be able to speak to that - relatively simple process of knocking out the FSB pins, aligning the front sight, and repinning.

    It zeros. Scary groups with good ammo (I have mounds of RSA surplus) at 50 yards.

    Beyond the capacity of my smith here in Dayton. Allen has a nice machine shop, he may have greater capacity.

    I think I've got him covered.
    I recently erected a structure for a customer who immediately filled it with machining tools.
    He has a Bridgeport milling machine, and he knows how to use it!
    I just talked to him on the phone and he told me that he actually has a Russian made AK sight- pushing tool.
    Really nice guy and a long time Tippecanoe county resident.
    If anyone needs machine work done, send me a pm with your contact info and I'll send you his.
