Sounds like you need a .040 higher front sight, and yes they make a front sight tool.

Thanks guys. I just placed the order. I guess the height of the rear sight on the carry handle and the height of the LaRue BUIS is way different huh?

The Larue BUIS is built to milspec height, to be a direct replacement for milspec carry handles, rather than the commercial version :) Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Sounds like you have a front sight post and the rear sight you are using is meant to be used with a Front Sight Block with removable sights. One sits higher than the other.

No, it's a known issue when using a milspec BUIS on a non milspec height FSB.

I just got back from the range. I brought my Bushy. I just put a LaRue BUIS on it. I was zeroing it and had to move the front sight post wwaaaayyyyy up. This same rifle with the removeable carry handle was very accurate. Now it shoots real high. Do they make different front posts? If they do which one do I need and where do I get them? FYI it does not have an "F" marked from sight base. Oh yeah.....do they make a tool for adjusting the post cause using a bullet tip is scratching the shit out of the front sight. Thanks in advance for the help. CLP and tooth brush will take off the copper marks
