VTAC Rail Issue, or iron sights? Updated w/ SOLUTION
Got a response from BCM regarding my problem with zeroing my new BFH upper with the 13" VTAC hand guard (still hitting way too high).
They said: "Many times we recommend not using this type of setup because of the sight issues." Can someone explain this? I guess I'm thinking that someone had to find this problem before now, so why are they still having a problem?
This brings up a ton of other questions but all I want to know is who has 13" VTAC hand guard on their BCM (that came that way from BCM) that is using folding iron sights that are zeroed......and can you post a pic of your front sight from the front and rear? Thank you in advance.
My set up is: 16" BCM w/ 13" VTAC and Troy folding sights, zero is impossible to achieve, shots are hitting 4 inches high.....and I can see daylight under the front sight detent collar. :help:
Just a new guy so take my ideas with a grain of salt.
It sounds like when the rail is installed and the set screws are tightened down it pulls the end of the rail downward. You stated it placed the shots 4 inches high but at what range 100 yards? Rather then adding shims which could fall out loosing your Zero. I would suggest getting a taller front site post. Colt A3 Removable Carry Handle Sights are taller than A1& A2 Rear Sights, and require an .040” taller Front Sight Post. This would lower the point of impact.
