Tallday

as far as I know I have purchased a pistol online and was shipped to ffl (paid out of state shipped to NJ FFL and Check was done). I know that if a handgun is purchased out of state you pay at the store, then pay to ship, then pay ffl transfer fee.

I have had no experiences with that type of sight all mine are dove tail. I would just Zero everything out. Then go back and shoot some more making small adjustments. I know that if you move the rear sight to the left you will impact right and moving to the right will impact left. Tilting should have some elevation results on impact I guess for fine tuning. I would still just Zero all out and go from there.

how is the crown? any dings?or I notice with my sig because of the higher boar access all my shooting problems are magnified.

going left could just be operator error! I know all to well about that! like this target says! http://www.gunlink.info/targets/PistolChartR1St.jpg

here is another form that explains it better than I could.. http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/sa-xd-xd-m-faq-stickies/6353-list-sig-sight-heights.html

I just have been going to PA for my last two long guns! Yugo Mauser from cabelas and a "Garand Guy" Garand from Sarcos!!!! OOOOOHH YEAAA! PA is truly instant. You are sort of stuck with our not so instant check if you want a pistol.

I found with my stock sights on my 226 I had to hold high to hit center. I have since changed out the front for a #8. I now have two #8's one front one rear. I now hold like your second sight picture option! It was at first like your 3rd picture but just a bit higher like 12:00. So depending on how you want to hold you can get different number sight combos. If you want to point at what you shoot both should be the same number. if you want to hold on the 12:00 you put a higher number in the front. if you want a 6:00 put a lower number in the front. I hope I explained that ok and did not completely mess it up.

If anyone is interested! I had a rear sight problem and took the Gun to Tony "The Garand Guy" He fixed it in less then 5 min for free as part of the warranty. He is a Super Guy and even gave me a lesson on trigger groups! I also got to see his shop were him and his guys put together all the Garands. I am so happy with the purchase from the Garand Guy because I trust his guns and the man will help with any problem...

thanks i am going to join up tonight when i get home.

Thanks for the help guys.. I ended up after driving myself crazy for a few hours i gave up. I took it to Tony the garand guy and he magically in 2 minutes had me rocking. I was Luckey enough to get a few lessons form the man himself on sights and the trigger group. A perfect case for a new garand owner to go with one of his rebuilds.

Either I am compleatly incompatent! (stranger things have been true lol) Or something is not right with the sight! I followed then CMP instructions and still no good! I will go see the Garand guy today and see what he can do.

I am new to the world of Garands!! Just got mine yesterday! YEA!!!! Well I have been doing a lot of reading on the function and mechanics of the rifle but cant find a lot on the rear sight. On mine the elevation and windage nob are wacky. I can adjust for elevation fine but when I turn the windage it wont move and will start to make it move for elevation. I am not sure I am explaining it right. Anyway I bought it from The Gurand Guy so if its just broken I can bring it in and he will fix it for me. I just want to make sure I cant just do something on my own to trouble shoot first.

I ended up at Sarco.. turns out most of there stock of garands are from The Garand Guy. They were 1200 for what you can get in NJ for 1100 but no 4-10 day wait... Great shop.
