Sight Alignment

Is there a fixture or device available I can use to make sure the front and rear peep sights are perfectly aligned and also square and aligned to the bore of an air rifle? I have an AA S200.

Thanks.

Yes

Depending on your sight blocks / bases (round or flat) you can use square material about 12" long to align or assure that the sights are square to each other. I'll take some photos Friday if you don't have a better answerby then.

I was thinking along those lines just using some square stock and clamping it on the site base. Something already engineered would be the ticket but anything you can contribute would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't understand the question...

If you shoot with it and it hits the point you're aiming at, what more do you need to align?

The front sight mount is held by a set screw and is not perfectly verticle. At 10 meters its no problem but any further and I run out of horizontal adjustment on the rear sight. I think there may be an issue with the rear sight as well and have ordered a better sight but i want to eliminate the possibility of the front sight being rotated left or right.
