cautery Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Man... let this one go a while. OK... Installed the 0.300" front blade. This gave just enough to get the POI/POA the same at 25 yards.... actually with a few clicks to spare. Think I'm going to go ahead and put a melted Bomar rear on this winter, so I can get the zero closer to mechanical zero.... and use a shorter front blade. BTW, the folks at Dawson are simply cool people to deal with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmar Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 cant the dawson's be melted in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cautery Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I suppose they could... Never seen it advertised by anyone though. And I suspect most of the smiths have the Bomar thing down to a science... if not programmed into their CNCs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 FYI I had the same problem with an aftermarket 9mm conversion barrel in one of my G35s. It shot about 3" high @ 25 yds. I took .005" off the step in front of the barrel hood. Zeroed it right up. I don't use adjustable sights on my Glocks. I've never seen the need for them. I shot a friends gun with one of the tall front sights on it. Boy did that feel weird. Felt like I was holding the gun a foot below my eye level. Don't think I could adjust to that.

cautery Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) Thanks Joe D - That confirms my comment from 1 OCT at 0917hrs in this thread where I theorized that cutting some material off that face would help. Nice to know someone has actually done it successfully. Shoot the Glock with the Dawsons for a little while... You'd like them.

Flexmoney Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 The drop-in KKM barrel in my G35 (actually a G24 barrel that I chopped) hit high. I forget how much now. But, it is atleast as high as the one Joe mentioned. I thought about touching it with a stone at the area that Joe talks about. But, it hasn't proven to be an issue (made GM with it and the gun shoots competitively). In fact, for USPSA stuff, I think it might help. I get to see more "pumkin on my post" at the distant targets. No worries about the front sight covering up the target. (I should start a thread on a good zero for 180s doing 950fps.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cautery Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I wish I had a sample of the Zero 180s to check in my proto... Curious about their profile. The thread idea on zeros sounds like a winner Flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
