      That's great! Just check the tightness periodically while you're shooting to make sure they're staying tight and bring tools with you to tighten them. The blue loctite is pretty cheap, only a few dollars for a bottle, may want to apply some before going to sight them in so you know they'll stay tight 😊

    I use my red dot co witnessed by front sight. I really don't use rear sight. But would like to change rear sight to ladder sight. My dagger defense front sight are only right handed so mine goes on backwards. I set my front back a little to avoid gas hitting it. My muzzle device is closer to hand guard. I don't lock tight but do paint my rifle. My bow, rifle, and motorcycle take Allen wrenches. I make sure to have sets of Allen wrenches with each.

    Informative. Great tips. Why the mirror image? A good gun vise would make this job easier.

    Troy optics?
    And what if rear sight doesn't have elevations adjustments?
    I went with the Troy Rear Folding Battle Sight with Tritium Inserts
    and the Troy Front Folding Front Battle Sight with Tritium inserts in the m4 variant for my ddm4v7 pro.

    • @SteelandWoodOutdoors
      @SteelandWoodOutdoors  2 роки тому +1

      That's correct! They are Troy folding sights! My rear sight has the windage adjustments and my front sight has the elevation adjustment. This is a fairly standard practice, to my understanding. Check your front sight if you're looking for the elevation adjustment, hope this helps!

      Had to get the adjustment tool separately. The bullet method wasnt cutting it. Much appreciated!

    • @SteelandWoodOutdoors
      @SteelandWoodOutdoors  2 роки тому

      @ProVsCon no problem! The adjustment tool is the best method, using the tip of something like the bullet method is more difficult. No stupid questions! We all started somewhere. Keep in mind that each quarter turn of the front sight post is about 1 or 1.5 moa adjustment when you go to sight it in. Same with the windage on the rear sight i believe. Glad to have you as part of the gun community!

    What would I do if I have an laser on top of the barrel?

    • @SteelandWoodOutdoors
      @SteelandWoodOutdoors  2 роки тому

      I've never worked with lasers, maybe find a different side to mount the laser so it isn't blocked by the sights?

      Yes any time a set of iron sights or an optic is mounted you have to zero them
