I just recieved a custom upper for my 22/45
It's 3 inches long, and will always have a suppressor on it. I took it to the range to sight it in today but can't get on the paper. I'm about a foot high at 10 yards. Rear sight is all the way down at this point. I removed the can to make sure that wasn't the problem and it's still way high. Should/can I get a taller front sight? Or just skip all that and get an optic mount for red dot. I wanted open sights but if that's not possible with such a short sight then I'll have to. Thoughts?  Attached File |

Need a dedicated can with a front sight mounted to it.

Is it a factory gun or one you cut down? Either way if you want sights I am sure you can figure out a solution. If it's a factory Ruger gun I'd ask for their assistance. Maybe Dawson or someone makes different heights.

I didn't know about the Dawson sights that's great. I will take it back to the range and set things up to get real numbers. Question about the calculator. They ask for point of impact. Should I reset the elevation to center again and then measure POI? Or with it adjusted all the way down as it is now? |

I would center it out so that you have some room with future loads. |
