Hello, ARFCOMers (I guess I'm one now as well). I've been avidly reading the posts on the forum for the past few months, and have managed to be hit with some form of the black rifle addiction without actually owning one. I'm aiming for a Bushmaster Superlite 16", pinned telestock, A2. Most of my questions actually pertain to the "Optics, Mounts, and Sights" forum, but this most popular forum seemed to be a good place for a first post.
First question, what does BBL stand for?
You could try to talk me into an A3, but at the moment, I'd really like to keep the carry handle: to make it easier to carry (duh), because it has the look of an AR, I won't have to buy an ARMS #40, and I don't think I'll be interested in a >1x scope for a long while. Thinking of an ARMS #51 (comes with a side sling attachement :D) to mount a Surefire, and once I excel at using the iron sights, maybe an EoTech. The recent ARMS #51 discussion said something about not being able to cowitness with the EoTech. Is it possible to just mount the EoTech on the forward rail and still be able to see the irons through it, even if the dot and the sight post don't match (or is that the definition of "cowitness)? Ok, enough for now. thanks guys! (for slogging through a stream of consciousness)
