Followed the instructions to get the battle-sight zero at 19.5 yards. Broke my Tapco sight tool trying to lower the front post to raise the group.
Dammit!
Figure it's the cheapness of the tool so I set about getting a replacement.
Get two for good measure.
I managed to raise the post almost out of the gun, counting the number of turns.
The same number of turns sticks the post but good. Now I break both the new tools trying to get the damn thing back out! I am almost at the drill-it-out stage. Almost.
I managed to bend one of the new tools back so it will still work on a properly spec'd post on an SKS.
In better news, Blanche, the $100 rifle...
