Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

It has been 4 months since I've been on this website and at my age that means I lost track of time and answers. My question is regarding how to increase the height of my front sight post on my Carcano M91 Suprema, which apparently use to be a long rifle and converted into a carbine. Pictures are on this sight under my user name. My POI is centered at 50 yards since I moved the front sight to the left but my elevation has always been 10 to 12 inches high using a Our Military 6 hold even when I lower the front sight post to the bottom of the V rear sight. I have read and been told that the Italian Army's sight picture was aimed at the belt line of combatants which would automatically raise a bullet using our method. I need to raise my front sight post 1/8 to 3/16 inches to compensate for our standard Military sight picture. There is indication that a kit is sold that uses a mold with apoxy to create the size of the front post you want. Can someone advise me about this matter.
Best Regards, Ron

Build up the front sight with JB Weld, file to shape & proper elevation......finish with a black sharpie to cover the grey.
