I had an XCR concept in mind for 2009. Here is my photochop I put together a few weeks back.
And here is the nearly final realized version. I need a couple of mini KAC panels and T1 with 416 mount
I tapped off two mags and had to rush back to work. I need to zero the rifle and didnt really have time. I was mostly interested in the ergonomics and function at this point
The HK416 sights are a vast improvement over any AR15 sights I have used on the XCR. After double taps I dont need to reset my cheek weld as much. The HK416 rail has the same height over bore as the XCR, thus 416 sights result in a very snug, tight, consistant cheek weld even after rapid shots
With my Eotech 512, lower 1/3 cowitness is perfectly realized; the FOV is wide and open with the #1 aperture.
Recoil control felt better than with AR15 sights because of the tighter cheek weld, your head isnt bounced out of position as easily during double taps
Also, I've completly negated the need for a new stock with cheek height adjustments, and the "entry stock" LOP is perfect as is. Essentially I no longer need a stock because the ergos are pretty much perfected.
I will dive into accuracy when I have time. The gun show is this weekend so I probably wont get to shoot till later.
Lastly, the one issue some might have is the fact that 416 sights are fixed. Well there is a solution for you too. HK MP7 sights do fold and have the same height as the HK416 sights. Here is a crappy photo, but the real nifty part is even when the sights are folded they function as "pistol sights"
Photo of airsoft copies, but you get the idea
If you want folding sights, its probably the best way to go.
