@conservakid I have two MK18 RIS uppers with the KAC sights, and both are very close to the ears, but definitely not past them like yours... I'd probably loosen the RIS bolts to the bolt up plate and tighten them back using a carry handle to make sure the rail is in line with the upper.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt: Yeah, it'll work fine; I used to have one of the original style Gear Sector mounts on my Block I. But, I ended up going back to the factory mount. Nothing functionally wrong with it, I just felt like the light being inline with the barrel looked better aesthetically. Having the light off the center line and against the FSB looked sorta odd to me, but it's entirely personal preference.

Hell, could've almost gotten two of them w/ stamps for the price of one NT4 w/ stamp, heh. But... NT4; and, one NT4 versus one or two "not quite right" SBs - I think the NT4 wins. Besides, the thought of having a CQBR w/ RC and a CQBR /w NT4 just gives me the tingles :D. |

Decided to swap some things around and jumped back on the block ii w surefire bandwagon. I put the td stubby and surefire m620 on the block ii and then Put the m3x and cvl on the devgru build. The m620 has a very brown anodizing to it. Looked it up and I guess they were offered in desert tan. I'm hoping it's not counterfeit.

meh, clonish always works for me... took mine to a little stress shoot course yesterday.. round count wasn't nearly as high as I would have liked, but just love this little suppressed 10.3.... makes me not want to own SCARs or anything else weird anymore... going to go back to an aimpoint micro/ holosun though... lugging around eotech 512 and retro magnifier weight got lame after a million kettle bell swings and push ups for misses/no-shoots.
and the SOCOM-SB is still among my favorite cans for lack of gas blowback action shots after staying at a holiday inn express  Attached File Attached File |

Thank you all for the responses on my front sight question. I followed CD's suggestion of using some rail attached device (in my case an ACOG) to align the rail to the upper and it worked wonders. My front sight post is now below the ears and my rear sight which was adjusted heavily to the right is now much more centered too :)
I should mention that this is a milsurp block ii upper so I fully assumed it was assembled "right" and I was reluctant to mess with anything. Maybe who it was issued to never ran BUIS?
