So my front sight on my new (and only) AR-15 rifle is causing me some concern. Its a 2012 mfg Olympic Arms 6.8 SPCII flat top, 16" carbine with a fixed front sight.
From my limited research, it is my understanding that the front sight base should be an "F" marked type. However there are no markings at all except a "2" on the left side, which I understand to be a forge mark, and the word "up" behind the sight but no corresponding arrow to indicate direction of turn.
Also, it has a 5 prong adjustment on the front post, and my AR front sight tool does not fit....... do I have an A1 sight? Why would they put a non F marked FSB with an A1 post on a new mfg rifle? very confused
My request... Show me your fixed front sights, including the post, and describe what type they are and what you use for a rear sight. Also if you have any issues achieving zero
