Hello all, new to this thread, so please bear with me.....
I have a 16" bbl, DPMS L.E.O. carbine, complete with bayonet lug, flash-hider and collapsible stock, straight from DPMS. I've also added a 3-point sling, vert. foregrip, red dot sight and a SWAN sleeve riser with flip-up rear sight. I also have a few questions about upgrading/ fixing current problems.
1st Problem: I got the rifle for L.E. use and then ran into some hard times with family. Had it for 2 years before I ever shot the darn thing. Started sighting it in and found that when I finished, I was shooting 1-1.5 moa but my rear sight was almost pegged to the right, allowing for little or no windage adjustment and basically cramping my neck when I shoot because I have to crawl over the stock so much to het proper sight alignmnet. I've pretty much just gotten use to it (with the application of a red dot sight). Now I've been issued a .223 rifle from HK and I've gotten my feelings hurt about my own AR. SO, I want to fix it, but don't know where to start......Looking for any suggestions you guys might have.
2nd Problem: Deals with an upgrade. I think I want to put a free floating/ modular forearm on my rifle. I also want to get rid of my pinned front site and base. What I think I want to do is put a low profile gas block in place of the front site and put an extended length forearm on the rifle (like for a 20" bbl) and create a "DPMS Tuber" (see pic at end of post) effect with greater abbility to accessorize the rifle (vert. forearm, lights, etc).
Didn't know if this stuff was possible or even worth my time, so I came to you guys for a little advice. Thanks in advance!
