Back in the day as a teenager with much keener eyes and steadier hands than I possess now it was generally no problem hitting a tin can at 50 yards with my 120A. An older gentelman hunter adjusted the sights for me way back then when it was new. Where the sights still are set to this very day. My very first gun and my most prized. Sentimentally speaking.
You can take some files and "lower" your rear sight by shaving off the top and lowering the groove until you get it to hit on target, and then just touching up the filing with some cold blue.
Well yonder , reason i watched your video because I finshed bluing my 120a put sights back on week later shot 12 inches high and to left. Hoping you would have a plan with answer.
Unfortunately, even with my second video on this rifle, I was left with the answer of “Change out my front sight or mount an optic.” So I mounted a 3x9 scope on it and let it ride. I’ll get a new front and rear sight one of these days and try again.
I would tell you to just get a taller front sight, but some quick math says you need approx. .175-.200 taller front sight. That is very very hi! Too hi in my opinion. Maybe it is best with a low mounted low power scope
Back in the day when this rifle was manufactured, a father or grandfather would not give a firearm until the son/grandson spent several hunting seasons with them and they matured enough to be safe and responsible with a firearm. 12 years of age was generally considered as right, IF the youngster demonstrated personal responsibility, strict gun safety, and respect. There were no short stocked "youth" guns back then. You had to grow into them and earn them.

I’ve got a feeling the front sight was changed and is wrong. Mine that I got used 60 years ago had a scope.

Yep, just going to have to deal with an optic. No biggie! Thanks for watching!
