The Wyoming Sight Drifter is the "Cat's Meow"
Ordered one ... http://www.wyomingsightdrifter.com/index.html
Am totally impressed with the drifter instead of a piece of flannel -brass punch and hammer:
Was in the safes today moving long arms around and pulled out a Stevens 44. Front sight was not centered so 1st use of the new sight drifter. With a V center gauge - a few snaps both ways with new sight drifter - dead nuts centered with no marks on the sight and so fast to center front sights
Totally Impressed with the Product - so much so I called Steve, the maker, and told him so

Re: The Wyoming Sight Drifter is the "Cat's Meow"
They are indeed an excellent product and a genius idea. Every shooting box should have one in it. You will find all kinds of other uses for it as well as moving sights around. For moving sights, it is so much easier to only move the sight a small amount than it is with a hammer and punch, besides being just plain easier to use. Steve is also an active BPCR shooter, a hell of nice guy, and he does everything he can to support ours and other matches. Thanks for posting John Boy!

Here's another 'toy' I use for 'absolute mechanical zero ...
https://www.ebay.com/p/PEC-Round-Bar-Ce ... 2256069099
PEC Round Bar Center Finder Model #4200-100
* Set the "V" on the barrel flats with the finder arrow lined up with cut line on the finder.
* Look under the "V" and snap the Wyoming Sight Drifter until the post on the bottom of a globe insert centers up to the bore ... "Dead Nuts" front sight centered to the bore with no guessing
In addition, it insures the fore sight & vernier are lined up and the windage setting at zero is correct too

Re: The Wyoming Sight Drifter is the "Cat's Meow"
Another happy user of a fine tool. The Win/Miroku lever guns front sights are most difficult to remove that I have tried to remove. I had one so tight I had to take it to the gunsmith to put in a vise and heat it up and pound it out. It came out without damage. Then I bought the Wyoming Sight Drifter and two additional Win/Miroku lever guns this tool has kept me out of his shop for dumb things

I have two, one in my shooting bag and one in my shop. They work great.

Re: The Wyoming Sight Drifter is the "Cat's Meow"
I have been fortunate to win a couple since Steve is very generous with his donations to the matches I shoot. I now have three. One in BPCR box, one in my lever gun box and one in the shop. It cannot be a better tool for moving sights!!!! Forgot I donated one at the .22 BPRA nationals last year also. Guess I have been the over stuffed.

Re: The Wyoming Sight Drifter is the "Cat's Meow"
Finally got to use mine this morning, outstanding tool. I do however believe there's some monetary compensation due. If you don't steer clear your finger, it WILL smartly put a blood blister on said appendage it may bleed profusely, possibly, no particular reason, just saying

Shadow 4, Maybe you should do a video of how not to use the sight drifter.

To avoid damaging equipment, always put your finger between the tool and hammer..

Great idea, like finding gold nugget in a stream bed while salmon fishing!

Re: The Wyoming Sight Drifter is the "Cat's Meow"
At the Billings gun show yesterday, I was able to find a vintage adjustable rear sight for my Winchester 67. Early production 1934-1935.
When I got home I was able to put my new Wyoming Sight Drifter to its first test. I had the sight off in seconds and WITHOUT any injury of any type. I drifted the new sight into place just as easy and injury free.
It's a great little tool.
