For the M3, M2, M4, M5, and M4P, the RF could be vertically aligned with a screwdriver. For the M4-2, M6, M6 TTL, and M7, a special tool is needed which Leica cheerfully sells but (and is this a surprise to you?) at a hefty profit -- I believe these run around $200 or more. I have never had a problem with vertical alignment on any of my M's, even those horrid M4's I used to own, so I've never purchased one, but several LUG-nuts have them. We have discussed this in detail over the years, and you can find a lot more information in the archives.
