I have a problem, again. Just got a AR 57 upper Gen. 1 and put it on a Spikes Tactical lower. I also ordered and installed a set of ARMS 70 BUIS, at the moment I also have a small el'cheepo red dot on it. My question and problem started today when I ran to the range to zero in the ARMS 70 BUIS. At present I maxed the front sight all the way down and at 50 yards and still am shooting 8" to 8-1/2" LOW holding dead on center at a bench on a rest. Thats the problem, the question is can I remove the front post and use a dremel tool and cut off about 1/4", there really wont be much of the post left, but I would be able to adjust it up. I am not really sure about this and I know I didn't just invent this brand new problem. This is my first AR style weapon so I am not in tune with all the finer details of a build.
I have looked at other front sight posts and the post height all look the same other than the design at the top of the post, beaded,narrow and or crosshair. Would an A1 front post be a little shorter? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you using the AE 5.7 ammo?

I would try different ammo before I start hacking away with a dremel.

Thanks, I'm not really into the dremel thing either. I'll try some blue tips and a couple of other loads I got.
