Which part of the rifle is adjustable for elevation?

The front sight assembly is adjustable for elevation, allowing users to correct the point of impact for their shots based on distance and other factors affecting trajectory. Adjusting the front sight raises or lowers where the bullet impacts on the target by changing the alignment of the rifle's sighting system. This feature is particularly important for achieving improved accuracy, especially when engaging targets at varying distances.

The rear sight assembly typically adjusts for windage, allowing shooters to move the sight left or right to account for lateral deviations. While some rear sights may provide limited elevation adjustments, the primary elevation control remains with the front sight. The compensator is a component that helps manage recoil and muzzle rise but does not affect the sighting system. The charging handle, on the other hand, is used to cycle the action of the rifle and does not play a role in sight adjustments. Therefore, the front sight assembly accurately focuses on elevation adjustments needed for precision shooting.
