The comb posts can be loosen to adjust the point of impact. Once you have done this, you can slide the posts in the direction of the desired point of impact. You can take another shot to check the new point. Depending on the results, you may have to make another comb adjustment. These tips can help you change the point where your rifle hits the ground.
Drop at the comb is the vertical distance measured from the top end of the hair comb to the middle rib.
A rifle should be aimed at a target using a full choke. This constricts the bore and gives the best range. This configuration is called a fusil after an 18th-century name for a light muzzle. A fusil is made of a high carbon steel plate, known as a frizzen. It can be hinged in both directions for priming and firing.
Wood comb
A comb that is adjustable can be a great choice if your goal is to make small changes to your setup. These combs will give you the same view as a fixed, but can be adjusted to adjust from 50/50 through 8/20, depending upon your point of impact. This hardware can be purchased at most gunsmith stores. Here are some ways that you can adjust the head of your comb.
Adjustable comb
An adjustable comb can be a great alternative to custom-made shotgun stocks. They can be installed for around $300-400 and allow you adjust the point to impact with minimal effort. Washers are used to adjust the position of the comb attached to the set of posts. A pack of 20 washers will allow you to adjust the comb to fifteen inches. Start by placing your test pattern four inches below the target lines and three inches to the left. Once you have reached the center of the test-pattern, lift the combpost by three washers and move it left one eighth inch.
Buttplates that can be adjusted
For most firearms, you can adjust the point or impact (POI), by moving the height of the comb and/or raising the front beads. The height of wood stocks can be adjusted by sanding. A skilled gunsmith will be able to rehead and bend barrels and stock wood. Double-barreled firearms may need relaying and resoldering. This is why it's a good idea to hire an experienced gunsmith. You can adjust the angle by using an adjustable buttplate.
Pivots for adjustable buttplates
The Universal Bar must be adjusted for the point of impact with the pivots, and its end plays must be free. The Universal Bar's U-Bar pivot lock nut must be tight. The Arm should be in the first or the second position on the adjusting post of the rear frame crossbar. The adjusting plate post should not be bent down. After loosening a lock nut, you can adjust the pivot screw of the Universal Bar.
