T81 LMG Sight Adjustment

[MilsurpLover]

Recently purchased a T81 LMG from TI. Shot it today for the first time and noticed that it would consistently group 3-4 inches below my POA at 75 yards. Any advice on how to remedy this? I took great care to ensure consistency in my breathing, shot release and firing position hold. The rifle appears to group well otherwise. I figure this must be an issue with the sights.

adjust your sight post down I believe

Hi use an SKS/AK sight adjustment tool or the type 81 LMG sight adjustment tool (it has a slot for a hex nut on one end) to lower the front sight post.

In the stock of the LMG you will find the cleaning/adjustment kit if you have not found it in the box

I mean, this is sight adjustment 101. Meeting the POA and POI is the absolute basic of marksmanship. I'm not trying to sound mean, but my 7yo niece figured it out by herself before.

I was just trying to confirm whether this was normal...I’ve never had a rifle with sights this janky straight out of the box.

Shots taken off a bench? Or off hand?

Its normal for these Type 81SA's. Both of mine were at least 24moa off POA elevation wise from the box.
