Quoted: And I hate to see people who don't bother to apply some critical thought and don't try doing some research. Is there anything about an extra 4" of barrel that could prevent the sight from being faster and easier to use than iron sights on the same rifle? Is there anything about an extra 4" of barrel that could have anything to do with whether or not the iron sights can be seen through the optic?
The M16A4 with M68 CCO (aka 20" flat-top M16 with an Aimpoint) is the current standard issue rifle for USMC combat units and is used by all of the other branches as well. There's one shown in about every fifth picture of US troops in Iraq or the 'Stan.

Again if he would have known the answer, he probably wouldn't have asked. That's the nature of problems: you don't realize that small differences will affect something until you get there. He saw a difference, and asked if this set-up would work.
And again, maybe the rest of us aren't as smart as you. Maybe he doesn't know how to use the site as well as you. Hell, you might just point him in the right direction and get him set up with the right link that will answer his question (many of which non-members can't access - and I am wary of becoming a member because of people like yourself who go out of your way to be rude - if you guys were nicer, you might already have my money and loyalty).
PS, do you like it when I talk to you like that? If not, then please try to be nicer, or just keep your derogotory comments to yourself about people who don't meet your high standards of posting requirements. Spend your expert time trying to teach people instead of being rude. You might just like yourself a little better tomorrow. We might also.
