On a standard (Military A2) front sight post what is the mechanical zero setting ?...All the way down and up 11 clicks???? Damn I forgot.

Front sight post flush, rear sights centered and 8/3 minus 2. This is for 25 to 200 yards. Only adjust the front sight post up or down for this distance.
When you move to three hundred yards, click the rear sight up to the 8/3 setting and adjust for windage as needed.
Go back to 500 yards click the rear sight up to the #5 setting. This should be sufficient for humanoid size targets.

I noticed that as well. Not sure the reason. Maybe they have changed it for the trajectory difference with the shorter barrel?

On the face of it, it wouldn't seem that there would be so much trajectory variance as could be caused by velocity differences between the two different barrel lengths but maybe y'all are right.

Front sight flush to start, adjust as needed at 200, as my fellow Jarheads have said.On a standard (Military A2) front sight post what is the mechanical zero setting ?...All the way down and up 11 clicks???? Damn I forgot.

Well I'll take the Jarheads word for it. They have saved my Army a** more than once! Sempi Fi
Just remember that the FSP adjustments are for large adjustments only, once you get it zero'd at 200 (or 25) yards, then use the rear sight for elevation changes.

As a Navy man I was going to chime in and give you the best technique for brewing a pot of coffee or teach you how to paint. Too bad I never learned anything about zeroing a rifle during my 5 years of active duty.
Seriously though, asking as a former Squid, isn't anyone else a bit alarmed that we have so many knuckle dragging Marines on this site? I thought DC was for smart, intelligent conversation. <-- Said as atctimmy ducks for cover and runs for the door.
A 9mm might expand but a .45 will never shrink enough to fit 17 in the magazine.

Not to worry atctimmy, I'll cover your retreat with my trusty paint brush.

I did get to play with some nice toys.
