The one with the sight tower is some parts my father in law has. He is a gunsmith/ Glock armourer. He is cannibalizing parts!!Happysniper1 said:Hey, question: why is there an assembled upper and a partially assembled upper (with sight tower) in the both pics?
Cannibalizing parts ?
That's what I keep telling everybody!It was way easier to do than I expected!!
Yes it was in that picture, good eyes!! And the front rail does seem to be lower than the rear. But the sights seem to line up good, just looking down them. I have not got to send any lead down range yet to see how far its off in accuracy!bhale187 said:I think your rear sight is on backwards, and your front sight is siting below plain with the rear sight. Could be wrong, but it looks that way to me in your pic
I thought those were magpul BUIS, if so it will be way off, you'll be shooting about an inch high.Yes it was in that picture, good eyes!! And the front rail does seem to be lower than the rear.

Thanks for the advice!! Glad you caught it before I went and melted the front one off! Might be easier to just swap out the front stock to a railed style that is the same height as the rear! Do you think that would correct the difference in height?Sorry, not trying to be a buzz kill.
I did the exact same thing the first time I built an AR for optics and used the magpuls, don't get discouraged, we all make little mistakes when taking on new projects. It's an easy fix, so don't sweat it, just wanted to make sure you were aware of the issue.
Yep, that would fix it.Thanks for the advice!! Glad you caught it before I went and melted the front one off! Might be easier to just swap out the front stock to a railed style that is the same height as the rear! Do you think that would correct the difference in height?![]()
