Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Lets talk Iron back up sights for a bit

For the sake of clarity, and my post above was not,...

First time I fired the M16 was in combat. When I got back to the states the Army decided it was a good opportunity to get me qualified with the gun. So I followed orders and showed up at the range. My previous qualification had been in Basic with a M14 which was the 2d CF rifle I'd ever shot. They gave me a Marksman pin for that effort. Quals with the -16 included silhouettes at 25, 100 and 300 meters. They gave me an Expert badge for that effort The old school aperture sight worked just dandy as far as I'm concerned. Dunno why it should present otherwise to new kids on the block.

They also let me shoot my newish RSB and gave me an expert ticket for that one too. Target was at 50 meters. My eyes were a bit better back then, but I still get good mileage with peeps.




Put a tang sight on this before shooting the target below.
