I was shooting my Garand today and with my rear sight centered, I was making adjustments to my standard frt sight, in order to get the groups centered. When I finally got it, I noted that my front sight is all the way to the left end of the gas cylinder.
I was thinking (dangerous) that maybe I could file one side of the frt sight to get it thinner and to hopefully end up moving the front sight block back a bit more towards to the center position. As I said, it's now all the way to the left side edge of the gas cylinder (though still on the flat top portion of the gas cylinder's platform).
So, the question is.......
Do I file only the left side of the frt sight blade?
or
Do I file only the right side of the frt sight blade?
I normally tell myself to move the frt sight in the direction of the bullet impacts. But, I've never tried filing the side of a front sight blade to narrow it and to move bullet impacts. Anyone wanna clue me in on how to do this?
Aloha, Mark
