Q: How do I know the direction to move a sight to correct the bullet impact?
A: To move the bullet impact to the left, either move the rear sight to the left or the front sight to the right.
To move the bullet impact to the right, move the rear sight to the right, or the front sight to the left.
To elevate the bullet impact, elevate the rear sight or lower the front sight. To lower the bullet impact,
either lower the rear sight or elevate the front sight.
Q: How do I determine which front sight I need?
A: First take some measurements. You will need the amount of impact deviation from the target in inches,
the range you are shooting (again in inches), and the sight radius (the distance between the front and rear
sight) in inches.
Take the impact deviation figure and divide by the range. Multiply this number by the sight radius and this
number will be the amount you will need to raise or lower the front or rear sight.
Q: What are the click adjustments on the receiver sights?
A: These are 1/4 minute clicks.
Q: Can I have target knobs installed on my receiver sight?
A: Unfortunately we do not recommend converting the sight to target knobs as this will damage the slide
beyond repair in the process.
Q: I have lost the aperture discs for my older receiver sight. Are replacements available? A: Yes, these should be threaded the same as the current sights. We have both a hunting aperture, 1/2 x .093 and a target aperture, 5/8 x .040 available.
Q: Do you have any older sights or sights available for models not included on your website?
A: All the sights and their recommended applications are included on the website.
Q: I need a receiver sight (or parts) which are no longer available from you. Can you recommend
a source for these?

Q: I have an old All American Scope which is in need of repair. Where do I send it?

to a company in Ohio, who is currently making repairs to the scopes. We would recommend you contact
