Racer 27 37 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 On my shotgun at 25 yards it hits at least 8"s low with slugs and shot. Is there anyway to adjust the barrel up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 What kind of sight do you have on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 You either have to lower the front sight, raise the rear sight, or bend the barrel upward. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Racer 27 37 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Would a normal gunsmith be able to bend the barrel or would I need to send it to a specialist? I don't know if I could get enough adjustment without adjusting both front and back sights by a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lokmeup 30 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Just file down the top of the bead a little at a time, until you are impacting at POA. This will "lower" the front site. Or you could just get one Dinzag's adjustable front barrel sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Racer 27 37 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm pretty sure its more then you can file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltham_41 52 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 One of the AK style front sights is a fast and easy way to solve the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zone1935 5 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 One of the AK style front sights is a fast and easy way to solve the problem. +1 on the AK front, plus it really changes the look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbles 23 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Mine shoots a little high at the closer ranges with slugs, seems just about right further out though. The AK sights really change the look in a good way IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rodanvssct 2 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Mine shoots low too, but not quite as much (maybe 4 or 5"). I'm thinking of also filing the front site down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigjimcalhoun 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Mine shoots low left. I thought it was me and a lot of it probably is me, but I hit low left with slugs at a target no more than 25 feet out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
