GSG STG 44 shooting low
I picked up a GSG STG 44 a while back second hand and find that it is shooting pretty low. I'm assuming it is one of the older models. I have to set the rear sight to 7 to hit anything under 65 yards. Anyone have this problem here? I've seen some folks suggest filing the front sight down, but didn't know if there was another fix.
Thanks

This is a universal issue with these rifles.
Before you file the front sight, try this: Remove the rear sight leaf Remove the spring, this will expose the mounting screws (these are also the attachment points for the factory scope mount) Remove the mounting screws to take off the rear sight base. You will see two bosses/projections where the screws attach to the receiver. Put 2 #6 washers on top of each mounting point (you will need to shave the ones on the rear point) and reassemble the sight. This will raise up the entire base so you don't have to move the elevator on the rear leaf to goofy looking levels. |

I did just as PA Garand instructed, and my STG44/22 shoots to poi.

I'm surprised that the POS fires at all. Too bad they couldn't make them BEST quality to begin with.
