I don't recall saying I had a problem with elevation when shooting. Other than the fact that to zero, it had to be raised up to 200. I'll be honest, I don't particularly remember what distance I zeroed that at. That might've been at 25 meters. I'm going back through my targets I took pictures of early on, when I first got it.

But these are my issues: #1 reliability. Which I have a few things to work on that have been suggested. I'm still not sure I want to take that gas system off. I'm so concerned that it might be cross threaded. But I'll have a look at it. I'll shim the trigger guard / housing too. I did check the mag that I have in there, and the sping is the correct way. I'll check the other USGI ones I have. I would think they are fine, but I think imarangemaster has said he has seen even USGI ones be wrong at times.

#2. This canted sight deal. Maybe it's an issue, maybe it's not.
#3. The fact that I raise my elevation means my front sight might need some tweaking. I've been hesitant to take the front sight off for a couple of reasons. First off, if I order a new one, it might be expensive, and it might not be any better than the one I have. These are old guns. Secondly, I didn't want to mess up the finish or barrel by wacking away at something that's been on there forever and probably on there pretty good. I have never taken one off before.






This is when I first got it. My son is 11 now and my daughter 8. Man time flies.
