[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2519450, member: 87243"] I see lots of people make the little plastic rings and stuff like that to act as a stop under the turret cap, but this is way easier and infinitely adjustable. All you do is drill and tap the turret top cap and put in a set screw. Get a #6-32 tap, #36 drill (.1065") and a 1/2" long 6-32 set screw, all available at your local ace hardware. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220430_182806.jpg"]362352[/ATTACH] Drill your hole right against the inside of the cap so it engages the brass sleeve on the turret body, then tap it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220430_183326.jpg"]362355[/ATTACH] Make sure to use cutting fluid and all the other common sense things that go along with tapping, but it is aluminum, so pretty easy.

Adjust the turret 1 MOA down, and gently tighten down your zero stop set screw. Note how much sticks above the turret, and trim about that much off using a dremel cut off wheel, sanding disk or whatever you have available. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220430_183903.jpg"]362358[/ATTACH] After trimming, check for fit, adjust as needed. Once it sets flush or just proud, this is your finished product. Once your all set, add some blue lock tight to your zero stop screw and let it dry. Your non zero stop sightron is now a zero stop.
