SneekySnakeOO Yes, in all the DD lit, they are opposite of the way I have them. I mounted these both ways and didn't really see any disadvantage except for some cosmetic issues. I cut out the overly long sections of the video where I swapped them back and forth. Should of mentioned that in the video.

Ah i see, I dont see reason why they can be mounted either way. Great videos btw.

+Tucker Dale Yep, that is true and if mounted backwards, to lower/raise, you would be turning the opposite direction as well.

yeah, I thought the same thing. the rear is essentially the carry handle sight without the handle.

2phast Tactical No. Up or down is up or down,unless you think you will mount your sight on the bottom of the barrel.

All of the shooting videos I have done are with the Troy sights, never did a video with these.

What do you end up doing for optic?

The DD sights are solid, well built and a good value for the money. If you can live with them being a fixed sight and always in your line of sight, they are a excellent choice. My preference is for folding sights that when flipped up, lock into place and don't move till you release the locking bar (Troy). All of my rifles use Troy sights now. Thats just my personal preference.

@@2phast TROY sights SUCK..they have too much wobble when raised--I sent mine back for a refund.

Just make sure you get a 1/3 cowitness mount for that mro and these sites will be the best you can get

Many products on the market already come with a thread locker on the bolts but if you are going to add thread locker, I recommend using only Blue Loctite. Red Loctite is permanent and requires heating to remove, not suitable for firearms IMO

@@2phast thank you

If you're using Daniel Defense sights according to information on their website you don't need to use loctite, because they use a threaded steel helicoil rather than just threading the aluminum body of the sight. Just make sure to properly torque the screws to around 30 in/lbs, to much torque can damage the helicoil, to little can allow the screw to back off.

Absolutely none.

The rear of the front sight looks stepped to avoid glaring to better aquire your front sight picture. Why mount it in reverse? Why did you mount the rear sight in reverse as well? Wouldn't that mess up any windage correction on the fly if you were looking at your splashes and comparing them to the turn direction indicated on the rear sight?

@@a69ninja Correct, he has both mounted bass akwards, 180 degrees off.

It will if you have a F marked A2 front sight

Gatornade yes

I think so.

Yes

For 1/3rd cowitness, it would require a specific height riser for your optic. That would allow you to use your irons in the bottom 1/3rd of your optic. Absolute cowitness would use a slightly shorter optic riser, that would put the dot from your optic right on the tip of your front iron sight.

2phast Tactical I appreciate that - thank you!

+Mike Kaminski A medium red dot riser will give you absolute cowitness, a high mount riser will provide you 1/3rd cowitness.

You can still do elevation adjustment on the front sight like standard M16 sights. There's no elevation drum on the rear sight for quick adjustments in the field, but I think that's a good thing because you won't be be tempted to keep changing your zero back and forth.

cheezyweezz I run a Troy rear flip-up sight and think it works great with the DD front. Originally tried MBUS Pro, felt it was I bit too high.

There is a cross screw that when tightened down, clamps the sight onto the rail.

2phast Tactical That one definitely prevents it from moving forward or backward down the rail but I’m wondering about it being able to be pulled off in the reverse way that you snapped it on

Maybe mine is just machined incorrectly? I’m able to pull mine off in the way that I described, even when the screw is tightened

@@wdpk837 The bottom of the sight should have a type of hook design, both on the fixed portion of the sight and the movable piece. The "hook" will sit below the top of the rail, when tightened, it will clamp up tight to the rail. Since the top of the rail protrudes from the lower section, the sight should not pull off is properly tightened down

2phast Tactical 2phast Tactical I kinda see what you mean. I did tighten it down much more and it isn’t moving at all now, but seems to be the head of the screw pushing the metal of the sights snugly onto the rail, if that makes sense. Maybe you’re saying the same thing.

Well considering it's not a forward grip it's completely legal... That is considered a hand stop and about a hundred companies make them and they are fine to put on AR pistols. You training for the ATF?

@@the2Atreeclimber pretty sure he’s talking about the pic rail underneath the angled grip.
