Well I guess when I get the cash around I'll buy a replacement sight and try to do it myself. I'd hate to destroy my $600 purchase but you guys make it sound like it's not too difficult if I just take my time and do it right, haha!

I bought some ammo today, 50 rounds for $23 which doesn't seem like too bad of a deal. I won't get to shoot it for another week though until finals are done! Oh well, I'm so excited to shot it off though. Thanks for all the help so far guys, I really appreciate it!

At worse, if you don't want to do it yourself, you can send it to the likes of Orion 7 and or others. Who may even have the sight.

Not a bad price for the ammo now adays....

You can get GI adjustables (Type II milled are the best, IMHO) for $20 to $30 on EBAY with shipping thrown in. The type II has an adjustable index plate on the rear, so you can line it up to set your center.
