@ZackPorter2010

You use your front sight for elevation.

Why even leave a video up when you know you made a mistake. Not everyone takes the time to follow links in videos. I've purchased CAA products, and they work

@juanriv01 The whole point is that I don't only leave up the videos that make me look smart. I admit when I'm wrong and I state it in the annotations. This is my first experience with CAA., so they may have fine products for all I know. Thanks for watching.

Try reversing your sight adjustment. Front sight Down and Rear sight up! I think your best bet is to either buy a bore sight or take it to an FFl dealer/ Gun store to adjust it for you. I hope this helps! Good luck

@hartncali When I bought this handle, it was only meant to be temporary until I could afford a better fixed rear sight without the handle. That way I can mount an optic as well. I’ve gotten rid of this handle and am saving up for a new rear sight. I’ll keep the reverse adjustment in mind. Thanks!

@GunsKnivesSurvival hey man, google f marked front sight base, that is your problem. F marked is for flat top m4 style guns, but many companies still use standard FSB. I had the same issue, i had to order a .4 taller front sight post from bushmaster and it resolved the issue.

Hope this helps

@dumfart21 Thanks!

Is that an "F marked" front sight base? I ask because the height of the front sight is not always the same on AR-15's and can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you look up "F front sight base" in google, the very first page that comes up is a thread about this. The second post in it points out that in order to zero some Bushmaster M4's (Depends on ammo and various factors), you may have to purchase a taller front sight post. It may be something you want to look into.

@mindsmirror Man, I only wish I had known this before I bought it. Oh well. I actually returned the handle for a refund today. I plan on getting a different rear sight anyway. Thanks for the tip, I'll check this out before I buy another!

@GunsKnivesSurvival But no, the front sight has no markings.
