Haven't touched it so not sure where setting is now but will close it, then back off 10 clicks to start, then keep backing off until bolt locks back. But, will get out my bore scope first to see if its lined up properly. Plan on shining a light into the tube hoping I see light.

Can't tell by these pics

Well that went south quick. Went to the range to sight in my thermal. Was shooting 147 gr surplus to break in and tune the gas block. Today, shooting my pet load of 169 A Max. Had to start over to get the gas block back to where it was. Didn’t think 11 grains would make that much of a difference. Finally done though.
