Curious what this forum's AR guys think.
I've got an assembled A2 fixed carry handle minus bolt carrier group and charging handle, coming from M&A Parts Inc; and have decided on a chrome lined 1:9 16" Mid length Lightweight barrel with a fixed front sight.. now I see that there's an option for either A2 front sight tower, or F-marked/Carbine front sight tower...
Being that as far as I know..
A rifle length gas length needs A2 front sight tower for a fixed carry handle of either slickside, A1, C7, A2... and possibly the same for flat top rifle lengths, or a shorter front sight post if it came with F marked front sight tower
And a carbine gas length needs either a 0.040" taller front sight post or a F-marked/F-height carbine front sight tower due to the shorter sight radius, for all the receiver types, be it slickside/A1/C7/A2 fixed carry or standard flat top..
Since the Midlength is right between these two extremes.. my thinking is to go for an A2 height and possibly a 0.020" taller sight post or filed down 0.040 height post? Or screw in further on a F marked?
Help?
