I had some time to do a little AR building and basic sight changes. Now I need to get them on paper. Does anyone have a recommendation for a bore sighting option? I've got a few calibers so would like versatility maybe in the  $50 range.

You dont need no stinking bore sighter.



I pull the bolt, look down the barrel and put a target dead center of the bore, and bring my sights to that target.  It'll get you on paper.

^^^This

It helps to have the upper sitting on something stable so it doesn't move during the process.

yup this will put you on paper as good as the bore sight.  Buying one is wasting 50 bucks that could go to ammo.  Next time you need the bore sight the batteries would be dead anyway.

I was thinking about that option but wasn't sure if not having a stock would throw off the reflex sights. I'll give it a try should help.

Any ideas for a glock?

I got rid of the plastic sights and added some high rise sights so we can swap out the barrel when I go to suppressor friendly states. I am not groupping on paper maybe 20 yards. I can't wait to get a RMR melted into something.

I also have some night sights to put on a G17.

Twenty yards is a hell of a long shot for most pistols shooters.  Start at five or seven and work back from there.
