Larue fixed FRONT sight?!
Has anyone on this board replaced the thumbscrew on the LMT front or rear sight with something from home depot???? I have had issues in the past with thumbscrews, the first time was at Sand Hill getting on line and low crawling around to find a carry handle some idiot didn't dummy cord. Since then I just really don't trust them and this has held me back from going with the fixed front.
I would really like to go back to fixed irons front and rear, but the thumbscrew issue has prevented me from being able to run a fixed front. Is their any other options for a rail mounted fixed front that doesn't have a thumbscrew? Will Larue ever make a front sight?
Another fixed, rail mounted alternative...
I have a POF rail mounted fixed site and really like it (snag free, light, well machined, takes a Trijicon post - all for $65).
It works well with my LaRue fixed rear on my SBR's. I too wish Mark would design & build a match for his elegantly simple QD rear!
