Anyone know how I can adjust the front sight without removing the sight hood? After numerous searches, I haven't been able to find a g43-specific sight pusher tool. Will something like an SKS sight pusher work or similar? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Once the hood is removed (Standard snap ring pliers work nicely) then the sight can be drifted which ever direction you need to move it. I use a piece of old brass cleaning rod and light taps from a small hammer. Good idea to make a small witness mark if there isn't one already to judge the amount of movement.

Best to wrap the snap ring plier ends with electric tape otherwise it will scratch the hood as they tend to slip when trying to remove the hood.
 
Appreciate the comments guys! Ordered a set of said pliers, wrapped with electrical tape and that did the trick [emoji106]
