FRONT SIGHT ISSUE

[LoneWati]

My front sight is too high and my peep is maxed out and still about a foot low on target. Front sight is .520 and Williams fronts that I can order are .460, .405, .355. Which of these 3 would best suit fixing my accuracy issue? Thanks for the help.

Which peep do you have? One thing you could do is make a shim for the back sight. I had to do that with my knight when I added a Lyman globe to it.
This was how it mounted first.

This is the front sight I added.

This is what the rear sight looks like with the shim.

This is what it looks like in all. I added a cheek piece to help with shooting.

Three shot group.

On a different height on yours. I am going to guess .405 but that is a pure guess.

You said it all in your first sentence: your front sight is too high. Lowering the front sight will raise the POI. As low as you are shooting, order the shortest one you can get: 0.355. You still might have to shim the rear sight. For a minor shim, I use a refrigerator magnet cut to fit.
