Why cant I get the sight tool all the way down on the front sight to go into the grooves? My Mp 15 sport has the standard A2 front sight as shown.

It will work just be patient and work with it. Mine works on every rifle I have used it on. They are not miracles tools that just automatically work.

I'm having this same issue. I wish I knew what the trick was for getting it to work.

I have the same weapon and it worked perfectly for me. It is a little tricky at first but you'll get it!

You must already have the factory rifle sights on your barrel. These sights replace the top half of the factory sights. The rear one takes a small flat blade screwdriver. The front one takes a punch and hammer. The front sight base is pinched against the upper half to keep it from sliding out either side. You will have to drive the old upper half out with the punch. After you slide the new upper half back in, you will have to use the punch and hammer to flatten the two corners which will trap the new upper half in place. All adjustments ar done with the rear sight and a small flat blade screwdriver. I hope this helps.

The rear sight takes fitting. Take your time! I used knife sharpening stones, take a little off the bottom only, try to install and repeat. You want them to be a tight fit. For the front sight there is a tiny screw compared with stock, Use tweezers to position the screw in the slide and use finger to push firmly into hole. Now you can thread a couple of turns using the sight itself. After simply use a 5mm nut driver and blue locktite to tighten. Done!

Front sight is held in with a small screw with very thin head that wil bend or break off if not removed carefully. The rear sight pushes out to the right looking from the rear of the slide. It must go back right to left. Should be done with a sight tool. It is recomended to have your local gunsmith do it for you.Rickwww.drarmement.com

The one I have is on an AK in order for me to get a better line of vision with a scope. It is not open enough at the bottom to see the rear sight without interference.

I had my gun smith install both.He has a jig to drill the holes for the rear sight. Drilled and tapped. And the front sight was welded on. Let a pro do it on this one. It will work and look great.Regards.Helmut1*

This sight has no through hole in the front sight as the gun comes with the three dots with a dowel pin that secures the front sight. I bought a set and epoxy the front sight. after a few rounds the front sight flew off! I took mine to a local gun smith this weekend and have him fix it.

I have mine on an M&P15;, although not the sport model & it works fine with the front sights, it is high enough to see over it, now whether or not we have the same front sights I don't know, but I would think you'll be fine

I had to send mine back. The front sight blade was not tall enough at its highest adjustment to zero teh sights.

The reflex doesn't sit high enough to keep front sights, had to remove them on my M&P; 15

Good question, I bought them wondering the same thing. I have my rear sights as far back as I can under the EOTECH Magnifyer. It doesn't bother me, when folded back, its about the same width as the picatinny rail. Some charging handles are larger than others, I have mine on a HK MR 556 which is the normal size, its fine. All in all, I love them, they work good and I would buy them again. If i was in a war situation and need to lock in load quickly, I might give the sights a little more thought... Being the casual shooter that I am, love them, work great!

Dave, as far as I know the sights have to be for your specific weapon. I purchased one for my MP Shield. Personally, I didn't like it at all, aim point sucked. it's a fixed sight. Had to aim way high to hit my target. Looks great though..Removed it immediately when I got home from the range.

Don't know. This sight was really hard to put on. You have to pound out the stock front sight.

I have the same problem. I tried hard to find out the solution for this problem and regretfully gave up. We should write a letter to the manufacturer about it. What I have done is to by myself a scope so the front sight misalignment does not interfere with my shooting.

I own a Colt M4 carbine and I have the M2 front sight. It's factory and I don't want to mess with it. I have a Trijicon and a Bushnell sight, and ordered the UTG-1" adapter rail because the front sight was too high and the ACOG sight was not working. The 1" seems to do the trick for both sights, but I have not been to the range yet. That will tell the story, but I'm sure the problem was solved with the adapter.

I was able to put it in just fine. I'm handy, but by no means a gunsmith. Make sure you get a good brass punch set so you don't mar the finish. Also, take a wax pencil or something like that to mark the position of the rear sight before you move it to the side. A sight press made (I got something like this: http://www.sightpusher.com/) it much easier to remove the sight, but you could probably tap it off with the punches. Good luck! This trigger made all the difference.

Yes to the front sight, However... the Novak rear sight won't fit, only the adjustable.
