Can you adjust the sights on these? Somebody told me that you can adjust it with a hammer and a punch. Has anyone adjusting these sights before?

Those are 2 screws for windage adjustment on the rear ie loosen one side then tighten the other to shift it. Shift to the right and the point of impact will go to the right (loosen right screw, tighten left screw). Not sure of the amount of adjustment per turn of the screw.

Similar principle for the front sight height adjustment except both screws are in front (loosen one, tighten the other). I'm not sure which way is which but shifting the sight up will lower the point of impact.

A #6 torx fits the front and rear sight screws very well. Do not use a hammer! Loosen one screw a small amount and tighten the other the same amount and the sight will move. These are CZ's new sights, I like them and they work well.

Thanks for the replies. I bought a #6 torx this afternoon and it works good with the sights.

My original 527M rear sight was immovable, so my gunsmith buddy silver soldered a Marbles adjustable to a steel block which I set myself. Works like a charm. My front sight certainly didn't have those adjustment screws either, nifty!

I think this is about the best that I can zeroing in my rifle with my bad eyes and iron sights.
