I have 3 Dan's.  My .22 and 15-2 have a rear sight with an Allen head screw.  The 715 has a flat blade screw.

The .22 & 715 are click adjustable.  The 15-2 has no clicks as the screw is turned.

Could the 15-2 be missing a part?  If so, what might be missing?

Hmmm . . . interesting.  Looking at the exploded drawing at Gun Parts Corp's web site, I don't see anything.  

I'd take them apart very carefully.

Very carefully! You might consider replacing rather than repairing. They are very tricky. Does it still hold it's position? If so, I would leave it alone. There is a tiny little ball bearing in them that can get lost.

I did take one apart because it was rusted and the adjusting screw (allen head) would not turn. Very bad idea. It would not go back together properly. 

Much better to replace it. Get the later model standard screw type or a Millet, Ruger GP100, or Williams Firesight to replace it.
