THOR509 said:the reason that gens created the swans neck in the first place ,was to improve the accuracy of actually making a positive, repeatable adjustment ! the swans neck is basically a spring that puts preassure on the adjusting screw , thereby removeing any backlash the threads clearances introduce in making an adjustment to the regulation of the watchs "speed". that is , if you turn the adjustment screw 1/10 of a turn in against the swans neck, it will move the needle 1/10 in that direction . if you loosen the screw 1/10 turn the adjusting needle will follow the screw and move 1/10 in that direction , as the swans neck presses it against the screw and removes the loose backlash from the screw threads. its all about positive ease speed and accuracy of adjustment ! ALL precision adjustable target rifle sights have this feature of spring loaded backlash removal. the functional swans neck is not about apearances , but the non functional ones are lol. hope this clears up any confusion about this
