Troy Battle Sight Help?

It's similar to an A1 type rear sight. Take a .223 bullet, and poke it in the hole to depress the detent. While holding in the detent, use that bullet to turn the knob. It will go one "notch". Then do it again (like an old rotary phone).

You will likely not be able to do it by hand (which is a good thing for a BUIS).

Thanks.
That did it. Too bad they don't put info like that in their FAQ...

You can also use a coin to in the slot to get leverage on the detent, but I prefer the bullet method.

I also have a question about the Troy sights. both the front and the rear seem loose meaning they don't lock solid in the upright position. Thanks for any help.

I just checked mine. They make a healthy 'snap' when raised fully up and can wobble a very tiny amount from front to back. Certainly not enough to affect accuracy or even to rattle.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

yes, it's normal for having very little front and back play.

 

[Master17]

mine has almost 14"

 

[twoclones]

mine has almost 14"

Is that 14 degrees? If so, that would be a problem.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

where did you get yours at? because there are many replicas out there.

I think it moves about 1/8".

 

[twoclones]

where did you get yours at?

Smith & Wesson.

Opps. Misunderstanding here. Mine from S&W work great.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

oh it wasn't you that having a problem. move on.

 

[Master17]

sorry meant 1/4" way too much. it definitely will affect accuracy.

 

[Master17]

got it from troy

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

1/4 sound bit much, contact tory ind.

 

[Master17]

sounds like the thing to do. thanks
