I got my conversion sight from EWK on Thursday.  After removing the old sight with the little colored thingy and installing the much shorter new sight on my 15-2 8" barrel shroud, my 14-2 now shoots to near perfection with .357 loads.  The elevation is near perfect, but the windage seems to be about 4" to the left at 25 yds.  Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?  I'm kinda' handy with a file...is there a not-so-easy way to fix this?

 

Ordered the sight on Monday at 2pm, got to my house on Thursday afternoon! Laugh  Wish more people had service like that...that's why I ordered a new barrel wrench from them yesterday, after my snazzy little red one gave up the ghost Thursday night.  I was trying to loosen the barrel, and then realized all that was happening was a zizzing sound...Screwy...the plastic surround on the barrel wrench broke...Cry...but I'm sure I'll have my new one soon.

Unfortunately I don't know of any fix for that either, other than Sparky's suggestion.lol2 

Actually, there me be one thing...pretty slim idea, though. When you get your new wrench, loosen the barrel & see if you have any movement at the dowel pin. Maybe you can turn the shroud just a smidge to move the front sight?
