    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the input, but my front sight is adjusted all the way up, and the rear sight is adjusted all the way down.
    And the pistol still shoots too high!

    The front sight gets "wobbly" sideways when adjusted up, so I'd like to avoid that.

    I have 3 MkII Scorpions and they all have fixed sight blades. Are you sure somebody has not changed the sights on yours or could you have the model incorrect?

    Hi,
    Also check your breach seal, if it’s worn the barrel sits high against the breach making it shoot high.
    I have in the past shimmed the breach seal to be slightly proud which lowers impact point.
    In worst cases, if it’s a shooter and not a minter, I have SLIGHTLY bent down the barrel in a vice with a steel tide over it, but I stress only a little is needed!
    I’ve managed to end up with 3 and they shoot great and make me smile every time I use them.
    Good luck.

    Pretty sure I have the Mk right, but no way to be sure the previous owner didnt change anything.
    But the front and rear sights are both periodically correct for a late mk2.
