Was shooting a buddies Cetme last weekend. He just bought it and it worked Ok considering the price, but it shoots high and to the left. What is the proper way to adjust the sights on it (other than aim low and right? Thanks

    Windage adjustments are made with the front sight. On a genuine CETME there is a lock screw that secures the front sight and once that is loosened the sight adjustment tool is inserted through a small opening in the front sight ring and the blade moved to change the point of impact.

    I can't see well enough to use the peep sight on the Cetme. Even if I could I am not sure the sights would be all that clear.

    Have you ever considered a red dot? Easy to install and much faster on target.

    Food for thought.

    Best,

    Found the lock screw already. It allows the front post to be adjusted for height, but not windage.

    The post is offset, so as you rotate the front sight tool it moves L/R.
