It appears your rear sight protection ears are reversed the straight section faces to the rear

Just fixed, thanks.

Took to the range yesterday, 50 yd indoor. Ammo: SMK 174 grn, PPU brass, Varget 40 grn.

Started off with the rear sight adjustment all the way rearward. Shots placed 3" left and 4" down. About 2-3 inch group.

Adjusted the rear sight a click forward (still way below the 200 yd mark). Still 3" left and now 2" down. Group tightened up a little to 1.5".

Set the rear sight at the 200 yd mark. Still 3" left but 1" high. Group at 1.0".

Adjusted rear sight to 1 click rear of the 200 yd mark. Still 3" left with 3 of 4 shots in bullseye 1.5 inch group.

I will be getting a sight adjustment tool to make the windage adjustments to the front sight. Thanks all!
