I am building up my first AR.  AR is on order and I can pick it up next week.  I am getting a Bushmaster M4 Flattop.  I bought a A.R.M.S. #40L SP BUIS and an EOTech 552.  My question is will my fixed front site effect the view through the EOTech?  Should I try to put on a fold down front site right away, or is this a non-issue?  Thanks in advance.

Its a personal choice--only you can decide if it bothers you. Keep in mind that without an adapter, the EOTech reticle will be directly on the front sight. Try it and then decide.

Thanks.  What type of adapter are you referring to?

As stated it really is a personal choice. Some folks can’t stand the clutter of having the sights in the EOTechs window. Myself, I ran a Cut Carry Handle BUIS with my EOTech for the last couple years. It really didn’t bother me but I did recently switch to a Matech BUIS. With out the CCH BUIS and only the FSB, the view is of course not as obstructed. With the ARMS #40 you should have the same results. Try the rifle out first with the standard FSB, if it bugs you then swap it out.

Several companies make an adapter to slightly raise the EOTech. This puts the iron sights in the lower third of the window, and the best of them is LaRue--it's QD.
