Greetings, I have a question in relation to adjusting the iron sights of the R8 PH barrel (Safari/Selous variant) which are different in several way to the standard R8 barrel. In particular there is a significant difference in the iron sights provided. The iron sights on the start barrels are very easy to adjust and my question is NOT about the standard barrel. I it specifically about the iron sights on the Safari/Selous barrel only. The link to the video below will show the difference. ( Note: In the video I incorrectly said 18 inches. I should have said 12 inches)

Has anyone here had to adjust their iron sights ? If so, did you replace front, rear or both inserts ? Does anyone know who manufactures the iron sights for Safari/Selous barrels ?

I am aware that it's easier to just fit a red dot or scope. All of my PH barrels will eventually wear a scope and or a Red Dot. However, they must have the iron sights properly zeroed as well. Belt, braces and elastic options on all my serious rifles.

Thanks in advance for your experiences.
