[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1014187, member: 6777"] Front gun sights come in dozens of different heights. Rear sights come in only a few different heights. I'm sure the factories design the gun, build it, then figure out which front sight works best for maximum adjustability and looks best(streamlined). Whether a tall front sight or a ramp base and shorter front sight, I think is more cosmetics than function as either will work. Before they assemble the guns. The sight manufacturer has most probably set the sights to a predetermined zero during the assembly process. Then the gun maker only has to attach the sight and its ready to go. Over the years the companies have gone from a collimnater(sp) to now using a laser for final adjustments The real final adjustment is up to you as their adjustments are only to get you on the paper. The reason the sight companies make so many front sight is if your using a non-adjustable rear, you can buy a front in a few thousandths of an inch difference to fine tune where your hitting.
