Welcome to the club.The CMP 853 is probably one of the best deals out there.
The count is now 9. Only issue is an older gentleman tried to mount a scope. Even with droop compensating mounts we still ran out of evelation adjustments. The droop is impressive.
It'll be a dang shame when the CMP finally runs out of their old 853s.

For the 753 sight, did you need to get a 753 front sight/barrel weight to match the height of the 753 rear sight, or did the stock 853 front sight work with it?

Is there actually a benefit changing to the 753 site? Shoots REALLY well with the stock ones but if the picture is better or some other advantage I might want to try it.
