I saw a picture recently of an M16A2 with a scope mounted directly in front of the carrying handle. How does this work, and does it work well?
Also, confession time. I have done 99% of my shooting with iron sights, so I am not too familiar with scopes overall. If someone could explain the purpose and benefit of having a forward mounted scope like I have seen on M1As, Steyr Scouts and so forth I would be grateful.....this has never been explained to my satisfaction. (or perhaps understanding)
Also, mounting scopes on M16 carrying handles......good idea or bad? Flat-top better? Reasons?
Also, I am new here so I would like to send out a "yo" to everyone. I have been primarily shooting pistols because of the limited range facilities available to me. That changed a short while ago, and now I am trying to gain some skill with rifles.
I have a few rifles, but I shoot the Bushie every week.
