Nonemoreblacker 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have the Chaos rail (really well built), but I am not used to using HK sights and I am shooting way high. When set at 1 (open) I am hitting head=shots when aiming lower torso when post is flush with notch. Is the front post adjustable? Are their different sized posts. I had a couple of people at the range take a look, but they were not familiar with the HK sights. (I have it sighted perfectly with red dot -so I am not jerking shots etc.) It is probably something simple/stupid, but I am most mostly a pistol/AR guy and could not get it right. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chowderhead72 13 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 What ammunition and distance are you shooting? My guess would be the sights are set up for 50 yards with a 1oz 2 3/4 slug. If you are shooting 25 yards with a faster 3" you will print high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lewie212 37 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I just got my chaos extended quad with hk sights as well. I was wondering what the 4 different settings meant. Sorry I am a noob as well. PS love the quality of the chaos rail and sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonemoreblacker 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I was using 2 3/4 1 ounce Estate Rifled slugs (1610 FPS) and was sighting at 50 yards. I have used these slugs very successfully a lot with my red dot in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I too bought a Chaos rail with the HK sights installed. I have the tri rail on my gun already. My hard sights are so accurate though that I haven't wanted to cut them off. I have tried to drift them out but they don't move so I will have to cut them out per the instructions. In ohter words once I cut them there is no going back. I have been watching this thread and hoping someone would come out and tell you that they had installed them and there wasn't any problem....but I have not heard that. I would like to hear something... It doesn't change anything to keep rotating it counter clockwise?? Don't know why Cameron hasn't posted???

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks The settings are machined at different elevations, these sights are designed with windage adjustment, but you may have play around with your front sight post. These are H&K style sight and do require a little tweaking sometimes. Most installs right on the money, people call me all the time amazed how close they are out of the box.

csmw 98 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I made a bore sleeve so I could run a bore-sight-laser through mine to see exactly were I would be hitting (w/ slugs). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csmw 98 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 You need an HK sight tool, it lets you change the elevation of the sight drum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lewie212 37 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Cameron, Can you tell me what the 4 different setting are exactly? I just installed my xtended quad last week. Also i noticed a little paint chip and i was wondering how durable the finish is supposed to be.
