HK MP5 22 long rifle - Sight use and adjustment

Sight use and adjustment

[@Gspsx]

The rear sight is actually your elevation adjustment. Counter clockwise will raise point of impact.

[@Scott67]

The rear sight is for both windage and elevation.

Thank you! This was extremely helpful!

[@Scott67]

You're very welcome!

Went to the range earlier today and got it Zeroed in perfectly! Thanks again! I was curious if you could run me through how you set up your scope on it. Sorry for asking for so much I’m a fresh newbie so I’m clueless on a lot beyond how to break down and clean 😅

[@Scott67]

Actually it's not a scope it's a red dot. Red dot is actually no magnification but simply 1 small red dot. Once you zero it in, where you put the dot is where you hit. I got it because the sights are so low I can't wear my favorite hearing protection and it' just more ergonomic to use. I'm working on a video on the red dot it will be up soon. If you want to put on a scope or red dot, your going to need a rail for it. Keep in mind it's not very long so a scope might be a problem. Anyway I'll put a link in the description for the rail when video get's posted. Glad you got your HK zeroed, it is fun to shoot.

[@Scott67]

Video on set up has been posted. Once again I hope this is helpful.

[@drkalowski256]

Great video! I think my rear sight was messed up, would only turn one way and it got stuck once. So I took it apart, now it’s shooting center high! I’m going to keep tinkering with it, but it was shooting fine out the box. I was hitting my steel target fine at around 70 yards last night

[@Scott67]

Thanks for the comment. I put a rail and a red dot on mine for shorter distance. Video here if interested.kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZvPh5qCh6mWo8U

[@drkalowski256]

@@Scott67 awesome! I got the claw rail off Amazon for 20 bucks and some change. How’s the crimson trace sight? I’ve got a Romeo 5 on a CMR30 but I’d like a second sight. We sell the CT at my job

[@Scott67]

@@drkalowski256 It works good especially for the price I got it for.

[@mrru1z533]

What kind of paint did you use for your front sight? I want to do the same

[@Scott67]

I think I used "Wite out". If I had to do over I think I would use nail polish. Polish is probably easier to remove in case you wanted to.

[@FishKepr]

The ‘holes’ are actually called ‘apertures’.

[@Scott67]

Thank you.

[@sleepy_chihuahua3580]

Holes is easier, were gun guys not fucking engineers idiot jfC

[@imnickim]

Can you adjust up and down?

[@Scott67]

Yes. But keep in mind you can't set these sites for a short distance. I tried to set my rear sight for 30 yards and still couldn't get on the bullseye because I needed to go lower.

[@evoben24]

Is it possible to co-witness the iron sights with a red dot?

[@Scott67]

I don't think so but you can put a red dot with a riser that will allow you to use both. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZvPh5qCh6mWo8U

[@crookedrot6287]

It’s possible with a specific montage eg a low profile montage from B&T

[@FishKepr]

Yes, it’s possible with a low mount like a Battle Steel. I have mine set up that way.

[@Inline-Four]

Yes, with a vortex crossfire red dot on the high profile mount

[@SillyRichard]

Thank you. Will zero my mp5

[@Scott67]

Glad to help.
