ak shoots super high

[backstrap]

Ive laser bore sighted this and it shows perfect alignment between front block. However when I shoot its 3-5ft high at 20ft. Raising the front sight post as high as possible helps but its still 2 ft high but Im out elevation adjustment and the stock is high on my should and my cheek is pressed firmly into the stock to be able to see down the sights in this wacked position. I checked the boresight to other rifles and it aligns perfect. I looked the crown over for 10 mins with a flashlight and dental pick and cant see any damage. I was thinking for how far off it is the crown would be near crushed? I dont understand what could cause the impact to be off but lazers line up. I used 2 bore sighters and both showed true.

**Update!**
Fixed! The muzzle brake was deflecting the rounds.

Can you post a pic of your front sight, and barrel assembly?

[Ytisfedup]

Is it possible you maybe have a burr on your gas port hole?

[backstrap]

The gas port looks good, no burr that I can see. Here is a few pics, I moved the front post up trying to get it up to impact but ran out of post, impact is higher than these sights will adjust to. Sorry for crappy pics I cant get my camera to take good macro shots.

You might want to check if your camera has a "Macro" setting. That will make those pictures come out in focus.

Where is your rear sight set to? It looks like it's beyond the battle zero and slid back all the way. Try putting the leaf slide so it sits in the lowest dip on the RSB. It looks like it's sitting at the same height as it would be if you were trying to shoot at 800m-1000m. Any way you can test shooting at a longer distance?

I think monkei is right.

[Sky_DiveR]

He did have it set to the lowest (100m) setting when he tried to zero his sights. With the front sight at it's highest setting and the rear sight at the 100m, he had to really push the butt up to get them to line up... and he still shot a foot high.

[munkeeboi]

don't know then. i was going by the pictures and the info provided.

I think I found your problem. I don't trust LBSs at all. Have you actually boresighted it the old fashion way?

The bore sight is merely a reference point, the zeroing of the sights is in the actual shooting of rounds regardless of the technique used. Look at his second, third, and forth pic and see how high his front post is. He raised the post since he was shooting ~5 feet high at 25 feet and had to lower point of aim by raising the front sight post and could not get the point of aim no lower than 1 foot high at 25 feet. At 25 feet he should be shooting well below point of aim... ~3" low not 1 foot higher. I'm confused by your line of reasoning here.

Get a improved rear sight from Red Star Arms.
