I'm thinkin the internal travel lock is set . . . based on the elevation. (Amd usually the sights are attached to the gun so if the elevation mechanism is damaged the sight is still pointed down the barrel . . . not that familiar with this particular design, however.)


Kinda reminds me of when we (me and my co-workers) work on aircraft the "NO STEP" and "NO GRAB" stenciling is largely interpreted as "WALK LIGHTLY" and "DON'T PULL TO HARD". Familiarity and experience leads one to know what one can get away with versus what a manufacturer is willing to sanction and assume responsibilty for.
