I enjoyed reading this and it has made me feel better about myself at the same time. When I started into Enfields many years ago I learned as I went along. My first front sight adjustment, and all ever since, have been done with a brass punch and hammer. All the while I would think that I really did need to get one of those proper front sight adjustment tools. Just never did though. Don't have to now. Been doing it the "correct" way since the beginning.
Thanks!
