The Annoyed Man wrote:I agree that the hand guard is way too short for that 16" barrel. It looks like you already have a low profile gas block, so it wouldn't be that big of a deal to mount a carbine or rifle length free floating hand guard. That would bump up your accuracy some, allow you to move that front sight further forward for a better sight picture, and give you the room you Need to mount optics and any other accessories need.

And do move that rear sight back and face it in the right direction. You'll see an immediate improvement in your sight picture.

Other than those little details, you've got yourself a good basic carbine. Welcome to the club. ARs are Legos for adults. :mrgreen:
Finally got to actually sit down in look at it after work today, moved the rear site and turned it around I think the guy who set it up for me just put them so he wouldn't lose them.

I guess I need to look into finding a range to shoot it at ammo should be here tomorrow :mrgreen:

Also what kind of sights are those, they appear backwards but not sure what you're running
I will be completly honest I know hardly anything about these guns at the moment, its an RRA lower with a two stage trigger and a CMMG barrel, I will take a look at the sites when ever I get home because I am not sure what kind they are, but from looking down them I feel like they seem right, but what would I know :mrgreen:
Also the rear sight (in addition to being mounted backwards) is too far forward on the rail. Needs to mount as far back as it can, overhanging the little flat piece above the charging handle.

I'm no expert on these guns, but have owned a few and played around with them a lot. So take above with grain of salt - but I think others will back me upon this - has to do with where the sight is intended to be to get proper cheek weld and sight picture.

Also front sight would be better further forward, but looks like you only have a short (7-inch?) rail so probably best you can do.

Aside from the nitpicks, good-lookin' gun ... should be fun to shoot :thumbs2:
Everything he said and...

You want those two sights as far apart as possible for a longer sight radius. I'd immediately get a longer rail to move the front site forward, and then do as mentioned and get that rear sight backward.
I was actually planning on putting optics on it and ditching the current sites

I appreciate all the info, and plan on bringing some one who knows more about them with me once my ammo finally shows up, UPS let me down :fire
