Elevation click value of M16 A2 rear sight?

[mao0720]

Anybody know what the click value is on the elevation (ranging) knob on a standard (not NM) M16A2 rear sight?

It's odd since it's calibrated in meters but iirc it comes out to about 2/3 moa or something close to that

Thanks!

I thought it was very close to a 1/2 moa,maybe someone could jump in and straighten us out.

Thanks Gary, but I think in that thread the elevation adjustments noted are for the front sight. When I was in the army we never moved the elevation drum on the rear sight. All elevation adjustments for zero came from the front sight.

RWH,thank you for clarifying the adjustment values!!!!!!!!!

remember that is based on an a2 sight radius.....

Right, so given a longer sight radius the click value will be less.
