Try this:
We are only talking about carry handle style rear sights. With fixed carry handle sights, the lowest marked elevation setting is (usually) "8/3". When you turn the elevation wheel clockwise to get to the marked setting "4", there will be THREE distinct clicks, or stopping points. The third one is at marked setting "4".
If you are using a removable carry handle, the lowest marked setting is usually "6/3". When you turn the elevation wheel clockwise to get to setting "4", there will be SIX clicks, or stopping points, with the sixth one being the setting marked "4". In other words, there are double the number of clicks (compared to fixed carry handles) to get from one marked elevation to the next marked elevation.
I have heard of removable carry handles with the fixed carry handle-standard three clicks between "3/6" and "4", but those are unusual.
This is important for the RIBZ because, when you adjust the rear sight settings so that the marked settings are shifted and your lowest possible setting is now FOUR clicks counterclockwise from the "3/8" setting, it will usually require EIGHT clicks of counterclockwise adjustment from "3/6" to have the same result with removable carry handles.
