I'm trying to zero these in and can't get the front sight adjusted using a standard 4-point sighting tool. Is the Diamondhead sight tool required?

I was able to use the standard sighting tool without any issues. I purchased this too from amazon as well. We appear to have purchased identical sights so the standard sighting tool should work.

I had to grind down the finger knurling on my tool to fit between the diamond outer aperture. Works fine now... Still works for other sights too.

(old military training tip) Almost ALL m4 style sights, regardless of brand, you can use the tip of a 223/5.56 round to rotate the sight post up or down, I cannot answer your question per say... but I gave up all proprietary sight tools for this method, it works every time!

Mine sighted right in no problem. Try remounting it and use a bore sighter, if you can't line it up without using too much adjustment it could be a problem with the sight itself.

These require rings or a built in clamp on the sight. You slip these inside the clamps on the rings or base and use the tightening screws on ring or base to tighten down on the dovetail.

Mine were for xd mod2 and from my understanding they are the same dovetail. But my experience was below poor as the first set came defective and the second front sight stopped working after 40rds at the range thru it. And wasted money for gunsmith to mount them and then remove them for me. Ended up with trijHD sights instead and would have done Dawson precision but they were out of stock. Good luck

Yes, you have to make sure the front sight is centered with these sights...

Yes zero at center say 50yds.then shoot remaining reticles each at 100yds. adjust as needed.

Yes exactly right. One suggestion is to also get a boresight insert to help you adjust the windage and elevation so that you can dial it in without using ammo. It's a great laser sight! Enjoy!

I have the same problem. I tried hard to find out the solution for this problem and regretfully gave up. We should write a letter to the manufacturer about it. What I have done is to by myself a scope so the front sight misalignment does not interfere with my shooting.

Directions were stuck up in the lid on mine. Look closely up there. The small set screw on the lower part of the left side is a lock screw. Loosen it before making any windage or elevation changes and tighten it when you are done. Clicks are 1 MOA. Make sure you get the reticle setting clicked solidly in place too. It will mess up the zero if you do not have it in the center.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface.Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

Wished I could say great sighting system but I can't. 1st time use went to adjust front sight the pin flew out rendering front sight worthless but easy fix. On rear sight a small piece of plastic fell off from beneath the aperture when I turned knob it literally fell off in my hand I will not use anything from venom ever again headache was to much, if you use this good luck.PJ

Count on zeroing it again, plan on returning this sight, I returned three to cabelas before buying a vortex sparc and never having issues again

The reflex sight I tried to use was a trijicon (since returned, don't remember model) and it did interfere, with the Prism optics top elevation adjustment knob. I took it off because of that reason. However, I have noticed since that my initial sight-in my initial adjustments my zero has held solid and I have not had to adjust my prism sight, even after taking it off and putting it back on my AR my zero has held. I may have been too hasty on the return. The other option quick release mount for the reflex (fastfire reflex has one I have looked at) would be the other option.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean exactly. But here are a couple things I would try: Move your sights farther apart (as far as possible), not closer, the longer your sight plane/picture the better accuracy. When sighting, perhaps start with the large open circle reticle, then flip to the small pin-hole after you sight in. Other than that, the only thing I could think of could be that you have the front sight mounted to a gas block, and the rear sight mounted to your flat-top rail. And those two parts are not the same height (gasblock is shorter) If so, move the front sight up onto the quad-rail (if yours has the same height as receiver rail height), if not, you need a gas block height front sight, or a fore end that is the same height as the rail on your receiver. You have to bring the sights onto the same plane, that's the jist of it. And if that still doesn't work, maybe you forgot to open your eye. lol. good luck.

Aloha John,That I don't know..I do know that this item is only a guide to centering..you'll still have to fine tune your zero by shooting!Sorry..I know that didn't answer your question brah.Al

My answer is the same as Chris's. The front sight is not visible looking through my Nikon P-233 scope.
