What kind of sights do you guys use for your M203's? I plan on getting an LMT 9" rail mounted M203 for my M-16. But i'm not sure what sights i should get for it. What would you guys suggest?

There a couple ways you can go,  It all depends on what other accessories you have need of on your rails.

1.  Top mounted leaf sight

2.  Left or right mounted red dot quadrant sight.

I have not used the new red dot quadrants, but they look like they are a major improvment over the earlier barrel mounted sight that was part of the SOPMOD kit.

Be careful, you could end up with a crew served carbine with a PEQ on top, Quadrant at 3 and a light at the 9

Sweet I like the new red dot sight. I haven’t seen them before. I wonder where is a good place to get one of these for a decent price. And yeah I could very easily end up with the setup you just described.

I use a standard A2-mount quadrant on mine.

I don't have a 203, but I do shoot rifle-grenades (using blanks) off my AR.

I bought a quadrant sight for $35 or so from SARCO, which is half of what I've seen them sell for at other places.

My AR gets about 75m with rifle grenades (with a tennis-ball head) using parade blanks.  Would probably get considerably more range with proper grenade-launching blanks, or if I had a gas shutoff.

I can't imagine how fun NATO rifle grenades would be with .308 GL blanks and a FAL with the gas turned off...

Not to hijack the thread but does anyone know where to find a leaf sight that attaches to the handguards and NOT to a rail?
