Greetings,
Hopefully not asking to many AR questions on here, but posting on ar15.com has gotten slow responses, you all here on THR are much quicker on the draw
For my build I'm planning to go with a standard GI fixed front sight w/o bayonet lug, and for the sake of being able to add/remove options a flattop upper. For the standard iron sight setup, do I need to locate a specific front sight base to match up with the standard removeable carry handle with rear sights? Is this what the "F" stamped front sights were intended to be used for?
I've looked at the fold-down front sights, but for my needs I plan to be putting on a higher power scope for any benchrest shooting this rifle, and using iron sights 90% of the time, possibly putting a red-dot ACOG style for 3-gun....
