Zero

The retro 5.56 guns are once again returned to zero after the great upper swap around switcharoo.

No forward assists were involved.

Willard's new AR is also now able to be zeroed.  He was a victim of tolerance stack-ups and an attempt to "tighten" the upper design by not cutting the slot to spec.  A bit of filing and a shim put the front sight base vertical like it's supposed to be and now the rear sight is near centered instead of being full travel left.

Now there's only the high-powered scoped guns and Harvey's platoon carbine to zero...

Damn, more excuses to hit the range?  The horror!

Addendum:

Charlotte the, M16 clone, is zeroed with M193 as befits her original 1:12 barrel.
Sabrina, the GAU-5A clone, gets zeroed with 69gr SMK because she's only got 11.5" of 1:9 barrel.

Tabitha is without a barrel and bolt carrier group at present, but she's going to have a 20" 1:12 barrel soon enough and be a late M16A1 clone.
