Windage adjustable front sight ideas.

This is a mock up of my 'military' target rifle. I don't like muzzle blast, hence the suppressor. I'll be moving the front sight back and while I'm at it I want to make it windage adjustable. Any ideas?

I might just leave the sight guard in that position for show but place the real sight on the suppressor for practical reasons (such as the suppressor might obstruct the sight at longer ranges). That would complicate things, I know but ideas would be welcome just the same.

The M39 Finn has a simular sight guard and has screws on both sides of the guard for windage adjustment, loosen one, tighten the other to move the sight L & R

Or go with a sight off a Swiss K31 with the angled dovetail.

Thanks.

My apologies, I should have said the idea is for a turn knob adjustment for on range windage correction. This is to be a home made device.

The rear sight is about as good as they get. I'll be looking at a foresight mounted on the suppressor to allow for the micrometer rear sight elevation. I'll have to make a permanent suppressor can mount with a removable end cap/baffle group. One could modify the rear sight to fit a windage adjustment but I don't want to mess with it.

Take a look at the ones that MVA makes for Sharps type rifles. Should be a couple ideas in there.
