[ARCHIVED THREAD] - open sights question

Posted: 9/12/2006 10:58:38 AM EDT

I just got my new Stag Arms left handed AR-15.

This is the first AR-15 that I have had that I got with open/iron sights which are included on the carry handle.

On the rear sight there are two aperatures, one larger one which is labeled 0-2 and one smaller one which is labeled C-2.

Am I correct that the larger aperature sight is for shooting at closer targets while the smaller aperature sight is for shooting at longer range targets ??

Also, I notice that when I am looking thru the larger aperature that the side that I am looking at is FLAT , but if I flip up the smaller size aperature the side that I am looking thru is the beveled/non-flat side. Is this the way this is supposed to work ??

Thanks.

Is this the way this is supposed to work ?? If I recall, the small aperature has the beveled type peep in order to help the eye center/focus on the middle...think of it as a funnel in which helps oil flow down into a more concentrated area. I believe this is why but I'm not 100% positive.

Thanks.
