    Is there a way to get 1/4 elevation out of an a2 carry handle sight?

    I think I can use a 1/4 min screw and aperature to get 1/4 windage adjustments but how would one go about doing the same for elevation?

    Thanks All.

    Use the front post for elevation.

    is one click of the front post 1/4 moa (standard front sight post)?

    I should clarify that i have a 16" mid length with standard front sight base. I'm not sure of increments of the front sight post but i had thought they were 1/2.

    If you go with 1/4 minute adjustments, consider the pinned sight. They install some pins to reduce the sight movement.

    WOA does the job for one.

    Ahhh so two things. I think WOA sells an A3 1/4 MOA sight. And, you do realize that because of the reduced sight radius and all theyre not going to be exactly 1/4 MOA right?

    RRA NM Sights...has some Sight options, you can have all the precision you want but if you don't have the right training/technique and or brains behind the sights, you won't hit crap. I see it all the time...

    So what's the beef with desiring precision? I can associate. I can also appreciate it if he can realize the potential of the finer adjustment sights.

    No beef. Just figured hed want additional perspective. I (personally speaking) prefer to have as much knowledge as possible.
