The M-16 Bent Nail sight adjuster Club

[Sean P Gilday]

All our Squad Leaders had a tool that had one side for the Windage Knob and the other for the Front Sight, used for BZO furthest targets we engaged with rifle was 300M in normal qualification ranges. The effective range with M193 ammo was only 460M. from 1985 on I just used a Leatherman.

Circa 1967 at pendleton range we used bullets to adjust the sights.

Usually as part of the Army Qual you Zero sights @ 25M, then go to Mask fire, then to Day Qual and finally night qual. NBC qual is at 50M and all you have to do is hit the ivan target 11 times out of 20. I have literally hip shot it and qualified

Some units have even switched to using a 50m or 100m zero instead of 25m.
