I finally found a new production fixed carry handle AR-15 upper receiver! Let’s take a look at my M16A1 retro build in its early stages. I was also able to get a Vietnam era stock set to compliment the build and lets also try and refurbish the stock set and make it look good again.

  1. The front and rear sights are what make this whole system. Id like to have a true solid steel positive stop clicking half moa windage and elevation rears with the moa front post for the correct sight plane ( barrel distance between front and rear) per milspec. I think alot of people are unaware at just how much math and planning and or the importance of these dimensions are that ive mentioned when shooting out at longer ranges . For instance the front post is 1 moa at a certain yardage and when looking thru the sight picture of a proper lenth barrel. the front post when gauged against a average mans person for shoulder to shoulder will tell you the yardage. Its like a rangefinder on the fly! Its not priveledged info but it seems not alot of people talk about it these days with optics being what they are. Systems like this is why Marines in WW2 was so effective in the bush and at he matches. Having a spotter watch the splash and say up to clicks over 3 and walking you right on at 500 plus with iron ? Well that would be a damn good tool to have when 10 guys where spraying commie ammo by your ears im sure! Goodvideo . Keep it up. Look forward to you getting it together and seeing those 300 yard iron sight groups! Holler if you need a trigger man or a spotter!
