The same appears to be true for the M6, though I would never have the guts
to take mine apart.  My vertical alignment is constantly going out of whack,
and it drives me crazy.  A rapairperson once told me about the advantage of
the earlier M3s with their adjustment screw.  Does anyone out there know how
to permanently fix the alignment in M6s (and M4-Ps)?
