Sight Adjustment Tool


The SIG SG 550 rear sight adjustment tools feature in two Swiss Army Knives, the Wenger STGW 90 and the Victorinox FASS 90 models, also known as the Korrekturmessers (Correction Knives). These models and tools were commissioned by the Swiss Grunig + Elmiger hunting and shooting sports equipment company, and their logo, a stylised GE, appears on the scales of these models.
These Swiss Army Knives contain two tools for adjusting the diopter rear sight drum on the rifle.

  • The windage (left/right) sight adjustment tool - Which is a rounded ‘screwdriver’ built into the frame of the knife (using one of the SAK springs)
    • Used for screw 4 on the linked diagram above
    • The Victorinox and Wenger tools are very similar
  • The elevation (up/down) sight adjustment tool – Which is a very small, fold-out, flat screwdriver inside a sprung cylinder
    • Used for screw 2 on the linked diagram above
