    Strange those zeroing instructions Kev....... Because the MPI must ALWAYS be 1" to the right of the PoA and it makes no mention of this. If the MPI is at the PoA at, say 100 yards (see info in thread 5) then that is the crossover point of the bullets as they cross the line of sight. The accumulative error will increase greatly as the range increases. I would suggest that the 1972 EMER is the one I'd follow. In short, the MPI MUST always be 1" to the right of the PoA

    I realise that this doesn't answer the Q re height of sights but the adjustment is detailed in thread 2. And that is using NATO MK7 ball
