Pinto, Cyrwus, Miller; tell me if this is a bad idea.

So I bought an armalite clamp on FSB for my little carbine.

I also bought the DPMS A2 rear that looks like the back half of a carry handle.

I'm looking at the upper and my brain tells me that it would be better if the rear sight was just a little further back, it looks like I could make another slot in the upper to accomplish this but I don't want to go through the effort if moving the rear sight aft isn't going to accomplish anything useful.

What say you guys?

I'm of course not those dudes but I know Pinto cut a slot in his upper to mount it back just a little bit farther. I say bust out the hack saw/file and get 'er done.

I just realized Trapr is on here as well, love to hear his input too.

I watched Kurt cut Pintos upper to do exactly what your thinking bout doing. When it comes to sight radius size matters. With other things in life it's not that big a deal.

that's not what she said....but yes site radius matters the longer the better overall...

When you get it figured out you can do mine. I run the same rear sight

Yes I cut mine and Mikes and a whole bunch of others! You might have to cut a corner off your rear sight as well so the charging handle will still lock in. I had to on Mikes and Mine and the other Mike's and Dales and....well you get it!

Eh' I'll figure it out.

I'm good at winging stuff, it's the planned out crap that always fails.
