Unhappy CLOSE GONE iron sights , way high
CLOSED GONE Got some new iron flip up sights . Using my in barrel mount laser the sights are way high . A good 3 to 4 in. Front sight is all the way down . Can this front sight be filed down to match the laser dot at 50 yrds. ? or what ?

Thanks , Arley

What front sight do you have? You can file down the post or buy replacement ones that are shorter/taller ect..

Not sure how I missed this but, Arley......have you resolved this issue? It could be your optic is mounted too high as brownie mentioned.
