Anyone got a solution for this? The rear sight is along the top of the receiver, it doesn't go any lower and still shoots high at 50 yards.

Thanks for the tips
 
That is actually kind of funny!

The 4 that the EESA crew bought, all had to be wound right to the top extent of the rear sight range, to get on target at 25 yards........I wonder if someone didn't file a bit to much off your front sight.......that is what I was going to do to mine to get the rear sight, more "centred".
 
are you shooting slugs? if so maybe you are zero'd to 100 and don't need to worry about it. How high is it shooting?

Not really an option, this gun is for combat shooting, I don't think there will be many shotgun rounds out to that distance, at least, I haven't needed to shoot that far yet

how high at 50yds?

You can get differnt front sight posts, maybe a higher one will lower your point of impact

Its at least a few inches high at 50, probably 3-4. The FSP looks welded or tacked on somehow, doesn't look easy to swap out.

Was that with the S&B slugs? Cause if so, that would be really weird. I think my front sight was a bit different than yours, it had more of the post highlighted in that bright red paint IIRC. I wonder if the height is the same.

its a dove tail mount which can be removed and machined, or replaced. being that yours is shorter then the other one listed, it may not be your problem?

Well, uhhhh, that is the problem, either my FSP needs to be taller, or my rear sight needs to be lower (which it can't)

Not a big deal, just aim for the center mass and yell out "boom headshot" when you make one... :D

Sorry.. cs-s fan here

Shoot the gun at 5, 10, 15, and 25 yards before you decide that it is not workable. A little high at 50 won't take you off target and probably puts the zero near 100 yards. If you can't live with it, simply choose a higher front post. Based on a sight radius of 25" and an error of 3" @ 50 yards, your front sight should be .042" higher to correct to zero.
