Quoted:
I plan on ordering an AR that comes with a railed gas block to attach a front sight. I usually us a pair of MBUS but being plastic, the front sight will melt if the barrel gets hot enough. What are some brands/models to look at for a metal front BUIS? Thanks -Emt1581 Any proven cases where this has happened? Or just more Intenet lore? I have MBUS on my 7.5" SBR. Never a hint of them melting, even after several mag du ps. |

For his purposes, he's probably right.
For me, there are different considerations. 1) My budget is limited, so I don't have best-of-all-possible optics on my rifle. 2) One of my reasons for having a rifle is SHTF - during which I may have no resupply, and irons are better than nothing if my optic gets damaged (or the battery is dead when I take it out of the case) 3) I am not a soldier, and I don't have lots of gadgets on my rifle. I have sights and a sling. I haven't got another use for the rail space Quote HistoryQuoted:

MOST of us won't be putting $1500 ACOGs and other top-of-the-line optics on our rifles, so an extra $100 on top of a less expensive optic should be seen as a "you need to do it" by all the gear queers here. If I'm using a less quality optic on my rifle, shouldn't I have something to back it up with? |

Not that I diaagree, but please explain how a gas block railed sight is better then one sitting on a high quality free float hand guard? Ive had both a and prefer the hand guard mount over the gas block. Less wight, longer sight radius. |

Already bought the rifle. It seems pretty well liked for what it is so not sure retarded is how most would describe it. EDIT: I see a bunch of options for folding and non-folding "gas block height" front sights. Most are cheaper than the Mbus pro front sight. This doesn't seem to be a huge issue or am I missing something? Thanks -Emt1581 |
