[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Problems with IBZ...

I tried to use the Improved Battlesight Zero this weekend, but couldn't get my rear sight to bottom at -2 clicks. From the procedure:

1. Flip the rear sight back to the unmarked aperture. This will reveal a hole in the top of the handle.

2. Rotate the sight wheel all the way down. Will probably be exactly at 8/3 (6/3). Don't force it down.

3. Using a 1/16" Allen wrench loosen the screw (under the revealed hole) in the sight wheel 3 full turns. Leave the wrench in the screw.

4. Rotate the bottom half of the sight wheel two clicks clockwise. This will raise the sight body if you look at it while you're turning it.

5. Tighten the Allen screw, remove the wrench, and confirm the sight bottoms out at 2 clicks BELOW 8/3. If not repeat the procedure until it's right.

I get through #3 just fine, but if I leave the Allen wrench in, I can't rotate the elevation wheel. If I take the wrench out, I can rotate the wheel, but the screw disappears ...moves with the wheel. Am I doing something wrong? TIA

The elevation wheel is made of two parts.

Top "two thirds" of wheel houses the allen screw and can't move with allen wrench in place.

Bottom "ridged" part of wheel gets turned.

Make sure you're unscrewing 3 full turns.

Are you using an A2 upper, or an A3?
