Old Army Problem

[cowboy1]

Have you OA owners found that your guns tend to shoot waaaay high? I have had several over the years, and they ALL shot high and needed a taller front sight. Not much problem with stainless ones since the sight is pinned in and easily replaced, but blue ones have a permanent sight and really can't be modified easily. Is it just me, or is this common?

Last time out (a couple of weeks ago now), I was shooting my Blued OA. Don't recall having any trouble hitting what I aimed at with it. That said,

My rear sight is screwed all the way down... and looking at a picture I took back in 2013, appears I did file the top of the rear blade down. So my ROA was shooting high when I bought it ... Just didn't recall working on it!

I even installed a Gold Bead V rear Red Hawk sight on 2 SS Old Armies.
