There are enough people in the world who could benefit from a good asswhipping that there was no need to be unpleasant to nice people.

The 2nd is not about hunting, it never was. It was put in place for one reason and one reason only. You can't have them, we won't give them up, so get over it.

I posted several truck guns I've had over the years back on page 1 or 2. Latest was a norinco SKS (another CA compliant gun).
I'm moving to Utah in less than a month and I'll be using an AR again. Will be interesting to see what my setup ends up as. Anyways I'm posting now because I was just curious what Ammo availability is like for our Italian friend? |

View Quote Not ideal, I've had better set ups but where it's at and where I hold, it works extremely well. I already had the light and that's what this build was about...making use of items I already had to keep costs way down. Didn't paint it only because it was one of the pieces I wasn't 100% wouldn't eventually change. We'll see. For now very happy with it. |

Very easy to put one of these on backwards. To correct, detach from rail, rotate 180 degrees, re-attach to rail. Think about it.

You've already sacrificed a few inches on the front sight. View Quote #1 it's in the most rear T slot so when it's up it is in the same spot as where it would be if it were not backwards. #2 it's backwards for a few reasons mostly because it's a Troy. Troy sights often have the scalloped side of the sight on the wrong side. If you look at whatever rear sight you have, the recessed or scalloped side of the peep sight is probably to the rear, with the Troy, it's on the front and bugs the hell out of me. I pick up my irons better with the scalloped side rearward (like it was designed). If this doesn't make sense I can take a picture to show you. Also, I like it flipped that way because when it is the other way I often bang my knuckle on it. I've had a lot of bloody knuckles from working the charging handle because of it. And finally, as a back up sight anyways, I prefer for it to be just out of my way more. The main reason though is the whole scalloped side thing of the sight. I will post pics for clarification. Edit: I shouldn't say like it was designed as older weapons had the scalloped side away from shooter. However, most modern weapons (except for Troy sights lol) have it toward shooter. So long story short, yes it's backwards and I prefer it that way. |

I should've bought the ARMS 40L before trying a magpul mbus and a DD fixed rear. I think I would probably prefer it. Possibly.
