Correction for a low shooting R51

[Ray R]

My R51 shot 4" to 6" low with all the different weight ammo I put through it. I remember reading a post from another member in this Forum who had the same problem and corrected it by using a shorter front sight from Dawson Precision. I have used their fiber optic sights on other guns and liked them a lot, so I went ahead and got one and had it installed on my Remington. I need to tell you that Dawson's website has a calculator that determines the change in front sight height required to change the point of impact. I used their calculator and ended up with the same sight height the other member used. It ends up being a Novak cut, .130" tall,  .125" wide, ramped fiber optic front sight.  I had difficulty removing the original front sight, even using a tool provided by Dawson as part of their front sight kit, so I had my gunsmith install it. Now it hits where I aim it.

The rounded sights for the R51 is part of the cool aesthetics, in my view. Also low-snag.
How do these replacements look? 
Can you attach a photo?

Thanks for sharing the info.

Snagging of the sights is not an issue for me because I use a holster. The Dawson front sight is a fiber optic and only about 1/2 as wide. I tried it and the original Remington sight using a micro fabric cloth. The Remington sight did not snag at all while the Dawson sight snags the microfibers and the soft cloth itself.
