Andrew,
I was refering to the "ring". HK calls it the "globe". You use the globe as the "front post" and the big notch at the rear as you would a set of pistol sights. The top of the globe even with the top of the rear notch, just like a giant set of pistol sights. If you do this with both eyes open and put the actual post within the globe on where you want the bullet to go, thats where it will go. Your eye pretty much does this by itself without thinking about it. When you throw the rifle up and get that snap sight picture, if you slowlty roll your head and eye down, you will see the small notch and the front sight post are lined up as they should be right where you were aiming. Its a lot easier to show than it is to type.
This works on the HK's too. Its actually a very fast combat type sight for close up snap shooting once when you get used to it. The threads on the front sight post are fine enough that one full revolution doesnt really change vertical impact all that much, so the windage adjustment can be made. I agree, its annoying, but it works, and once set you dont have to fool with them. I did have to make a sight tool out of an old flat bladed screwdriver as there were none to be found. I still havent seen an original. HK did clean the design up, but theirs isnt a treat to zero either, but again, once set, they are set. Congrats on your third from the last. Considering what you were shooting against, sounds like you did ok.
omega5,
Thanks for the pic of the sight diagram. I always assumed that was what it was, but never could find anything to prove it.
