garand shoots high

Got ya Orlando.

Tim, Orlando
My aperature has not been ground down. I think it would be better to build up the front sight blade. I am a lousy
welder. I will have a friend that is very good do it for me. Thanks all.

I was thinking about your idea of grinding the aperature. Could you illustrate where & how much
to grind? Thanks
Tom

I'm about to leave for the weekend so I can't get you photo's. Just take a bench grinder and take off just short of the first tooth of the bottom of the app. Try and keep an angle at the bottom close to the originals. Nothing to it.

I have one ,I can post pics of it. Probably not until tomorrow though

Here ya go, just keep, grinding off until aperture sets as low as it can go in the sight base

Did you get your garand problem solved?
If not Roland Beaver has tall front sights. They are a thin NM type blade that he has made up, they look well done
$35.00 shipped, if you need his contact info PM me

And as an added bonus you can change apertures without dis-assembling the sight!

Thanks guys. Orlando PM sent. I would prefer a taller front sight to grinding the aperature.
The slightly taller sight I tried made it better. A little more is all I need.
