I used the search function and scanned about 8 pages, but couldn't find any info on this....
When attaching the front sight to the front of a railed handguard, I would expect POI to change slightly with handguard pressure. Am I incorrect? I'm planning on putting together a 16" carbine w/ iron sights, and I want as long of a sight radius as possible. I figure I can either use a rifle length railed handguard and attach the front sight to the rail, or use a standard free-float rifle length tube and a dummy gas block w/ rail right behind the flash hider for my front sight. I don't want to use a standard A2 front sight. So, does POI change w/ the sight on the railed handguard? Thanks for any help, guys. |
I mounted mine on the front handguard because I have a carbine length barrel but a midlength rail, mainly for looks. I'm not sure on POI change, but in theory wouldn't a longer sight plane or whatever its called make it more accurate? Granted mine is there for back-up, I have shot with my irons out to about 100m.
