Odd screw on Zouave rear right

[ChairForce1]

I have 2 Zouave rifles. One is new with a slightly larger bore than the the other which makes loading my LEE mold cast minie's a cinch. Problem with it is the sight is difficult to get a good bearing on the target. I want to swap it out with the sight on my old zouave. Problem #2 is the sight on the old Zouave has 2 little holes for the screwdriver. Where can I find a screwdriver like that?

Also, would is be possible and/or practical to convert my beater zouave into a smoothbore?

Or, start with an appropriate width flat blade screwdriver and modify it with a Dremel tool.

Thanks for the link. Since that link ID's them as spanner bits, that was part of my problem. Can't find the tool if you can't name the bit.

Though when I get home I'm going to try and swap the leaf portion of the sight before I resort to more drastic measures.

Try using a long nose [needle nose] pliers. That
worked for me...After you unscrew it then you can
cut a screw driver slot across the top between
the "dots".....

Dixie Gun Works sells that tool. Don't know how much. Look at it and see if something from a hardwear store would work.
