It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3- in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze , preferably Prestone. No, no better make that Quaker State. ...:p
Fletch!!!!
You can start with a 1/2 in. riser to start if thats not enough then you can try a taller scope ring YANKEE HILL MFG. sells this kind of stuff real cheep .
you want your dot right on top of you sight post so sight your gun in first with your iron sights.
A BUIS is a sight behind your optic.
A 1/3 co-witness is when your sight post is in lower portion of your scope.
look up co-witness on this forum for more help.
hope this helps you good luck and be SAFE.
A $35 dollar riser for a $25 dollar Walmart scope is a false economy. RETURN the Walmart scope and DO NOT SPEND ANOTHER DIME until you've spent a few weeks reading posts here. USE the wealth of info here to your advantage.
I concur. If you're on a budget, return scope and get yourself a carry handle. They can be had for short money.... There are those who will indeed say to go red dot first, (and I don't disagree with them necessarily), but with a budget - you'll get budget optics and it will fail. That being said, there are red dots out there that will last for short dough. My advice though stands: Buy a carry handle, or at the least a good rail mounted fixed or flip-up and keep shooting...
I agree with Massmark. Get rid of that thing and do some research. This website is GREAT for that. What I would recommend and I think a lot of guys on here would agree with me on this is to go to a company called magpul (anyone else ever heard of this company?!?! He he) @ magpul.com. They have some polymer sights called the MBUS. I highly recommend a rear MBUS sight for you and shop around. You can get one for $40. I know a plastic sight is not as sexy as a red dot but trust me you do not want cheap optic. Save up and do some research bud and in the meantime find a good instructor who can show you how to properly run that weapon. Don't fall into the trap of decorating the gun. Buy ammo,train; buy more ammo,train. Anyway I am preaching and getting off topic. Good luck!
Shoot with both eyes open and it will not matter. You can even put the cover on the front of the red dot and still be able to shoot it as long as both eyes are open.
Ooooops.....should've read your other post first. Somebody already beat me to the MBUS
