Here’s a how to video on zeroing AR-15 iron sights. In the video I use a Magpul MBUS rear and an A2 front sight but the process is the same regardless of the sights used.

  1. I have Knights Armament 600 meter back up sights. When I set the rear to the z Mark and adjust the front sight for 100 meter zero the front post is past the protective ears. I don't understand why. I figure I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?

  2. ok. this is gun video done by a man that isn't a "gun guy". sights on ARs are calibrated for 100 meters. to compensate for the 25 meter distance, you need to dial in 4 times the elevation and windage, because youre 1/4 the distance. IE 1 click at 100 meters is =1/4 inch. Since the bullet only travels 1/4 that distance at 25 meters, youd need 4 clicks to 1. this man obviously doesn't know that. Theres LOTS of knowledgeable people on youtube about this subject. Please seek this imformation elsewhere.

  3. How come those Magpul sights I gotta slam the rear sight all the way right and basic metal ones it's not so much?? Just realized this after I got rid of my carry handle which I really like alot.. not so much fan of red dots tho..

  4. I have an M1A Socom 16 -with a Trijicon H3 14 front iron sight and there traditional rear sight – I can’t find any useful info on zeroing this type of sight – if you could do a video,that would be great! Thanks

  5. Just got my first ar and did this same exact zero method yesterday, got military family members so the targets are easy to come by. Im just wondering if its that big of a difference to move it to 50, because the target says zero it at 25m which is like 75' and its supposed to be accurate out to 300m supposedly. Is that wrong? Or is ot just preference and theory

  6. I built a 20" HBAR to kind of mimic the rifles we used (m16A1). Put a carry handle on it. Didn't have a AR type platform rifle until 5 or 6 years ago and adapted to the more modern style equip and shooting, used the 50 yard zero. On this 20" I zeroed at 36 confirmed at 300 all good, but my question is I seen the A2's getting issued out but "just cause happened" and I got out right after it was over, so I have no training on the A2 sight what is the correct zero to make the wheel elevations work out at distance?

  7. so turning the front post clockwise will bring the bullet up?
    But 1 is it the same with a 15" Free float Hand guard "Front Sight @ the End & 2 My $10.00 Ebay Front Magpul Flip Up Front sight looks like it needs a Small Allen wrench to move the Set Screw B4 I can adjust the Front Sight

  8. Also, what are any experiences with the MaTech BUIS you and others may have on a barrel length greater than 14.5", with the sights still spaced the same, as well as being more distantly spaced, throughout the MaTech's ranging ranges?
