Front sight protector

[Mike D]

I've shot a very good group with it on, that is slow-fire, from the bench. While shooting at targets, it's obviously the shooters choice. In combat, it would have to come off, quickly.

That's the reason the small peep on the '03's rear sight is not used as a "battle sight", it's too small. What is used, is the combination of open rear, open front, which provides the best sight picture.

The top of the rear ap ring does not interfere with a man-sized target at 100 yds., but the top of the front sight protector does, that's why so many battle rifles have front sight "ears", and not "hoods".

It definitely makes a difference in low-light combat situations.
