That is the lesson plan for zeroing rifles and carbines. mil does it.Īnyone can do whatever they want.But that is fine for them.But no one else will be able to use their weapon if needed and be on target if there isn't understanding on how things are labeled and work IRL.
How to zero a2 carry handle sight how to#
You will need to Google "Revised Improved Battlesight Zero" or "Santose Improved Battlesight Zero" for instructions on how to re-calibrate the elevation drum.I'm sure the OP is asking how the. If you want to have a setting for a 50 yard zero, is it possible, but it requires you to make changes to the sight. One thing I should point out is that the Army uses meters, and zeros at 25 meters for a 300 meter zero, while the USMC uses yards and zeros at 36 yards for a 300 yard zero. It is not meant to be used to adjust elevation for a zero. For it to work properly, you have to use the 300 yard zero. when the sight is zeroed properly, you would change the drum to the setting equal to the distance of your target. The elevation knob is like a bullet drop compensation reticule in a scope.

Is there a military manual (or something) I can buy that fully explains the usage of this sight system?

How would you suggest I zero to that distance? Would I still use the 300 meter setting as mechanical zero and shoot with POA is on target, and POI is about 2 inches low? Or should I set the mechanical zero on 250 (which is supposed to be the same as 50)?Īfter zeroing the sights, what are the various numbers on the elevation knob for? How do I use the rear sight for various distances? Do I just turn the knob to approximate the distance from the target, or is there more to it? I would prefer to do a 50Yd zero, so the POI is pretty much on (within about 1-1/2") from 50 to 250 yards, without having to hold either high or low within those distances. Thanks for the info on zeroing at 300 meters. If you truly were out of adjustment in the front sight and have to rely on setting the rear sight to the 500 yard marking to zero, then there is an issue with your front sight. probably more like hundreds of thousands. Rather than correcting the problem, you have simply masked the symptom.Īs far as "trolls", those Magpul sights are on thousands of rilfe.

While you may be on at 100 yards now, you are not using that sight properly. When I switched to the familiar A2 handle/sight that I had used in basic training, my groups quickly aligned to the point of aim. The only problem was they were three inches BELOW the point of aim. Using the Magpul sight supplied by S&W, I could easily shoot 1" groups at 100 yards. Within no time I was shooting groups that could easily be covered by a quarter.Īlso, I previously posted about much the same problem as you experienced, so don't be surprised if a bunch of trolls come along to post suggesting that if the Magpul sight wasn't the greatest thing since sliced bread any problems were of your own making. Viewed from the left side of the rifle, I set the elevation aspect of the sight on "5" and then adjusted the windage. I removed the Magpul sight, installed an A2 handle/sight in its place and adjusted the front sight to near the mid-point of its travel within the front sight base. At the time I bought my S&W, I bought an A2 carrying handle/rear sight.Īfter trying to use the Magpul rear sight, I found what even with the front sight adjusted as far as possible, I was still shooting 3 inches low at 100 yards.

Like you, I found that on my S&W M&P-15 Sport II, the adjustment at the front sight alone was not satisfactory. Am I correct to set the settings on this sight on the left side?
