Shooting High With Barrel Band Front Sight

Post by PietSkiet357 »

Hi All

I have one of the older M92's.

I have the problem that my shots are printing high to over a 100 yards.

The front sight is part of the front barrel/mag tube band, and the rifle has no safety.

What can I do to correct it. Will it help to shoot heavier slower bullets?

Help is appreciated.

I fluffed the title of your post up a bit to be more descriptive. Hopefully someone will have an answer but I don't think there will be many options.

You could also file the sight that's on the band flat, then, cut a slot in it, and silver solder a new brass blade in it also. Make it higher than the original one.

The rifle does, in fact, have a safety..............pull the hammer back to the first click..............

Nothing should work . . . .
