POI is good but the sight on it is too tall. Can't use the hood and rear sight setting is 300 tard graduation mark. If I lower the front sight I can lower the rea and use the hood. Well that's my goal
Now to address what front hood you are trying to use.. Did some idiot try using a model 94 hood on it? Those are shorter than the model 70 hood, which the model 71 also takes. There is a guy on ebay, gunsinternational and gunbroker that is selling "original pattern" front hoods for $25.00. Better get one while it's hot, at that price..
