The AR-15 Thread - AR-15's and Magazines

[Snarl]

Interesting about placing the rear sight in front of the red dot, I haven't heard of that and will give it a shot when I get a red dot, I'm definitely leaning towards that over a full on rifle scope.  The Sig Romeo is exactly what I was talking about, I've heard good things. 

Man I wanted a .308 AR bad, but my budget for now limited me to the AR15.  I even thought about getting one of those Century Arms CETMEs, but I've seen reviews all over the place.  I guess it depends which parts got harvested for your rifle 

Moving the rear sight forward really works.  A lot of people think you can shoot more accurately with your sights spaced out as far apart as possible (straight line thingy).  It's only important to have your front sight post at a distance from your eye (and you need to be able to 'see that' well).

When EOTech was forced to return everyone's money ... I got mine back.  I sort of miss the optic.  It was a quality product.  Way over-priced, but in a league all by itself.  That's an important 'give' as far as disclosures from me goes.  I'm not a rich man, but I've enough for toys.  So, I went with the Sig over the Aimpoint.  The Sig leaves nothing to desire and I saved hundreds of $$$.  I'm going to buy one of these for my brother when he gets his rifle.

Right tool for the job.  Get close enough to throw rocks at one another and I'm picking a 3200fps cartridge that will splash your insides around.  Now, the AR-10 is decked out with a legit ACOG.  If you'll just hold still a sec, I'll shoot you in the face 4 times at 600yds ... LOL.  The power of a 168gr projectile compared to a 55gr @ 400-600yds is appreciable.  And, let's not talk about what my 4X4 would do to rioters if one of 'em laid a hand on it.  There's some fine driver's training available if you're willing to pay for it.  Might be the best self-defense money you ever spend ... as it's a tool that's in your hands for a far larger part of your day than any firearm.
