topshelf - lefty o is correct, but some of the T105E rear sights require 10 to 12 clicks up. Yes, you really need to be sure you understand how to use the sights on the M1 Garand.
I have seen some M1 Garands that required at least 18 clicks up, to be zeroed at 100 yards.
The sights are interchangeable with the M14/M1A except that those sights use meters, not yards. The M1 Garand sights were calibrated in yards. If you really insist on using the yard/meter marks on the elevation knob, then be my guest; most M1 Garand users find their zero, by shooting and having an observer spot for them, after that, the adjustments are simply clicking the sight up/down, left/right, as needed.
Remember, the front sight is always adjusted in the opposite direction you want the bullet strike to move; the rear sight is adjusted in the direction you want the bullet strike to move. If you forget this, then hold your hands out in front of you with your elbws bent, place one hand above the other to simulate the sights, and the hand representing the rifle barrel below it; move your hands to see that when the front sight drops, the barrel must be raised to keep the front sight on the target and the bullet strike on the target.
