I was thinking I might go with flip up sights. Maybe I can find some foam blocks to fill up spots. I am hoping to be finished tomorrow.
You should mount some BUIS anyway, not as an afterthought. If your optic ever goes down (think "battery", "broken lense", etc.), you'll still have the ability to aim your carbine. Even though I've got an ACOG that requires no batteries, I still have BUIS.........just in case. Without them, all you can do is "point" your weapon. You cannot AIM it.

I never would have thought about doing this DIY. Pretty cool project.

I am looking forward to the photos of the finished product.

About the settling (and / or lack of cure), if you did this in a cold location, that could have retarded (or even stopped) the curing process. I used to pour manequins for taxidermists and we couldn't pour them below about 55 degrees or so.

Thanks for sharing the project.

As you can see, it's not padded with foam. It's also $200......
