I clamped Dottie's upper down and sighted in on a convenient spot in the neighbor's yard.
Yes, they're OK with guns and me using their flower box as a boresight target.
The scope was pointing far above the bore and the irons so I unscrew the elevation screw to bring the pointer down.
The scope started getting wobbly.
The SUIT L2A2 is held against the mount by a spring. Elevation changes are external and via the front mounting point. Make the impact go down and you increase tension on that spring and vice versa.
My spring had become stretched.
Dammit.
So I took it off and squished it in the vice. Only lost three units of blood getting the damn thing back on (twice). The spring now has tension well past the point where I have to crank the scope down so the irons and the scope are aimed at the same spot at, give or take, 25 yards.
If it doesn't hold, there's a guy in England selling new ones. I've put a message into him, $25 is cheap insurance.
