    Adjust your front sight to the left until your rear sight is zeroed. I only use the rear sight for Wind adjustment, and you can’t keep track of it if you are way off as you are!

      Thanks for the reply. I think its way off. I’ll get it sent back to check when my number comes up. Waiting list was 6 months.

    Check to see if the barrel is indexed correctly. Timing needs to be checked. Worn clip latch spring does not create a storage only can cause the enbloc to prematurely eject clip. Worn bullet guide can cause issues. 7th round stoppage was cured early in production. During the test it was found loading the last round.

      7th round stoppage is the least on my trouble. I can’t hit the side of a barn with it. I plan to get back with ???? about but not got around to it. I’m a good shot just don’t know how I quantify that in a complaint. Thanks for the comment

    Adjust your front sight to the middle. It loosens right up with an Allen key. I could see in the video it was off center.

      You’re right. I took a good look at it and it is way off center, figuratively speaking . Don’t know how I missed that. Guess I’m always in a hurry at the range. Just can’t get any quality with my M1 anymore,

      Great point. Good eye on this. This is another reason we make short videos so we can broaden our spectrum of support and knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

      Not to sure we found the problem. I did adjust the front post to the exact middle and I’m still shooting tight groups left of center mass. My windage cranked way over to get that close. It sort of looks like the right wing on the front sight is bent. I feel a nick on it where it’s took a good bump some time. I’m thinking of writing *** and get an opinion of an armorer. They may say adjust the sight post till you get center mass with zero windage adjustment. I guess I’m ok with that is that is an acceptable procedure.

      @@pfrost4011 so with the front sight dead center and the rear adjustments in the middle you are still way off?

      @@gavinm1347 yes. Almost same group and location before I adjusted front post. The site wasn’t really off but was not exactly center. Maybe the slight bend to the wing is causing sight picture issues but I don’t think so. Plan to get some pictures of the targets, windage settings and send in later today if possible.

    Check that the stock isn’t warped and tensioning and bending the barrel off centre. Otherwise, you should centre up your rear sight and set windage by moving the front sight in the opposite direction as you want to move the point of impact.

    Greetings P Frost. The 308 option is great. Are you able to shoot any type of 308 or does it need to be a certain load?

      Still can’t find any affordable 308. Been shooting 7.62X51. $21.00 a box at Walmart

      P Frost My CMP order is now being processed and since the Rack Grade is not available, am thinking to go with the 308 Expert grade.

    Try loading the enbloc loader putting the first(bottom) round on the left side so the top round is on the right grime the shooters point of view, if you haven’t already.

    • @pfrost4011
      @pfrost4011  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, I do have the top round on the right. The 7th round stoppage was odd but not a consistent problem. Having to set max windage at 50 yards is more of a problem. The front sight post looks. Centered.

    I have a 30.06 on order at the moment. I hope it will work well out of the box fingers crossed. If you buy your ammo please let me know where you are finding it. I don’t think the CMP has any M2 Ball in stock in 30.06. I plan to participate in some competitions the summer.

      I got a 2nd M1 in 308 because 30.06 was hard to find. I ordered bulk from Outdoor Supply a while Back. . I saw this link the other day. www.royaltigerimports.com/product-p/us3006ammo001.htm?

    Start with both the front and rear sights centered. Take a couple of shots. If shooting to the left of the target, then move the front sight to the left, in small increments. Leave the rear sight centered. If shooting to the right of the target, move the front sight to the right. This way You do not have to adjust the rear sight has much. Sorry I have no solution for the 7th round stoppage. I own 4 m1's, two in 3006 and two in 308.
    Have never had that problem.
