Who makes or sells shorter than stock AR15A2 front sights?
I bought a Crosman Pre-Charged Pneumatic upper for my AR some while ago, the MAR177. It came with the stock rear sight aperture, which is very large diameter for 10 meter practice, so I took the detachable handle/rear sight assembly to Camp Perry today and got the parts to put a hooded aperture on it, with much smaller interchangeable apertures. I get back home and put the handle on the MAR177. I load up a magazine, insert, cock and load, aim at a target in the middle of a very large trap, and fire. The pellet is way lower than I expected. The front sight is all the way down. The rear sight in that handle has 65 clicks of 1/2 minute elevation, and using all of those, I have the Point of Impact up to about the Point of Aim.
I have never liked shooting Center of Mass. I could just shoot for groups, but I would like to be able to use a 6 O'Clock hold and have it hit the center of the standard NMAR target.
