M!-Garand/ New Barrel & Can't Hit Anything!

[Mark in Rochester]

Thanks, guys.
Then, if you are off a complete degree, your front sight would only be out of possition by less then .018". I think the sight being off that much would not be an issue. I do think the gas cylinder/op. rod position would be more of a problem. I use a Starret #12 machinest's adjustable bubble level that is graduated in one degree increments. I try to get the barrel "perfectly" indexed, but I'm sure it's never perfect. (I'm looking at a "bubble")

if you are off .018 you will also use 2 minutes of windage to zero the rifle

hermiem,
I've personally gotten a lot of great information from this thread from all of the posters, but did you ever get your problem solved?

I was looking forward to finding out what happened, myself.

This thread was interesting!
"Hermien" started it by asking a question on Jan. 1st. After TWO weeks and 44 replies and we have not heard a thing from Hermien. I hope we have helped him. Just an acknowledgement from him would be appreciated.
