    This document provides instructions for sight adjustments of an AR15 rifle at 25 meters based on barrel length and sight type. It includes the following information: 1. Details on how much point of impact is adjusted with each click for different barrel lengths and sight configurations, such as a 1/4 inch adjustment with an A1 front post on a 20 inch barrel. 2. Steps for mechanically zeroing the sights to the windage and elevation positions, including adjusting the rear sight to the center and setting the front sight flush or making a specified number of clicks. 3. Instructions for making windage and elevation adjustments to the sights to shift the point of impact based on where shots are landing, such as

    barrels, use 20”
    ELEVATION: FRONT POST

    Elevation A1 Front Post (round) 14.5" or 16" 3/8" (1.5 MOA)
    Elevation A2/A3 Front Post (square) 20 " 3/8" (1.5 MOA)

    Windage A2/A3 Rear Knob 20 " 1/8" (0.5 MOA)
    Windage A2/A3 Rear Knob 14.5" or 16" 3/16" (0.75 MOA)
    ELEVATION: REAR DRUM (NON-Match sights)
    Elevation A2 Rear Drum 20” 1/4" (1 MOA)
    Elevation A3 Rear Drum 20” 1/8” (0.5 MOA)
    Elevation A2 Rear Drum 16” 3/8” (1.5 MOA)
    (estimated)
    Elevation A3 Rear Drum 16” 3/16” (0.75 MOA)
    (estimated)

    1. Adjust the sights to the windage mechanical zeroing position by one of the following
    methods depending on your rifle:

    a. (For A1 sights) Flip the rear sight aperture so that you can see the (L). Next, turn
    the rear sight windage drum until it moves all the way to the left side and locks. Then,
    turn the windage drum back, moving the rear sight to the right 17 clicks so that the rear
    sight is approximately centered.

    b. (For A2 “8/3” sights and A3 “6/3” sights) Flip the rear sight aperture so the small
    unmarked aperture is up. Center the rear sight by turning the rear windage knob until
    you align the windage notch on the down aperture with the center notch on the rear
    sight base.

    2. Adjust the sights to the elevation mechanical zeroing position by one of the following
    methods depending on your rifle:

    a. (For A1 sights) Adjust the front sight post up or down until the base of the front
    sight is flush with the front sight post well. Then, adjust the front sight post 11 clicks
    clockwise in the direction of UP.

    b. (For A2 “8/3” sights) Lower the rear sight all the way down by rotating the rear
    elevation drum counterclockwise. THEN, rotate the rear elevation drum clockwise UP
    one click past the 300m mark (the 8/3 mark on the drum).
    c. (For A3 “6/3” sights on a 20” barrel) The A3 rear sight differs from the A2 in that
    its elevation index is marked 6/3 instead of 8/3. NOTE: the A3 sight has 1/2 Minute of
    Adjustment clicks instead of the 1 Minute of Adjustments of the A2 Sight. Thus, the A3
    elevation dial must be moved TWO clicks clockwise UP past the 6/3 mark on the drum
    to the Z mark. Otherwise, the windage drum and flip-up aperture - and their operation -
    are the same as on the A2 rear sight

    (For A3 “6/3” sights on a 14.5 or 16” barrel) Same procedure as for A3 6/3
    sights, except set the elevation drum on the 6/3 setting, not the Z setting.

    3. Once the rear sight is properly set, fire your 5-round shot group.

    4. ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT

    a. To raise your next shot group, rotate the front sight post clockwise.

    b. To lower your next shot group, rotate the front sight post counterclockwise.

    5. WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT

    a. To move your next shot group to the left, turn the windage knob
    counterclockwise.

    b. To move your next shot group to the right, turn the windage knob clockwise.

    6. Once your point of impact meets your point of aim, your rifle is zeroed. Do not adjust
    the front sight for distance; for the A2 and A3 sights, once you are zeroed at 25 meters
    by this method, your rear sight drum is calibrated as a bullet drop compensator for 300
    meters and beyond using the small aperture. For distances from 0 to 200 meters, use
    the large aperture and put the elevation drum on the 3 setting.
