quoheleth,

The standard AR-15 front post is 0.072" wide, IIRC. Looks blocky and can be difficult to focus on.

You can get narrow front posts from people who build ARs for Highpower - White Oak Armament or Compass Lake, for instance. You may find a 0.052" suits you. I just put a 0.045" on mine, and am delighted.

You can get rear peeps in various sizes too, but those are more appropriate for match and range use than for self-defense, since they reduce your field of view while giving you excellent depth-of-field.

Enjoy your AR-15!

Regards,
Andrew

I think J&T Distributing is a branch of Doublestar, or vice versa. Check http://jtdistributing.net/pdf/cat08.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for their catalog - it lists Doublestar rifles and receivers.

My "kitten gun" CAR-15 is built on an Oly receiver using a J&T CAR kit. I love it. If I had another lower and some money, I'd buy another upper kit from J&T.

Regards,
Andrew
