Hello,
No, that won't cure it... Because the rear sight assembly isn't the problem. The problem is the commerical handles. Commerical handles have a .040" shorter shelf heigth, ie. the shelf that the sight assembly sit's on is .040" shorter than what it is on a Colt® or a TRUE Mil-Spec Handle.
This is what I was trying to convey to you the other day, when you said you had installed A2 barrels in A3/A4 Uppers.
The bottom line is, if you have an F Heigth FSB and want to use a carry handle, then you need a Mil-Spec Handle. Or, your gonna wind-up with a front sight post that's too short, that you have backed damn near all the way out in order to achive Zero! Or, you gonna wind-up buying the .040" taller front sight post from Bushmaster, and at least that way, the detent "should" still be engaging the flange on the front sight post when you finally get her Zeroed.
Obviously thow, if you have a flat-top with a Standard FSB and want to use a carry handle, then you need the commerical handle.
"F" FSB's are .040" Taller than Standard FSB's, and Mil-Spec Carry Handle's have a .040" Taller Sight Shelf than Commerical Handle's.
Why the hell these sub-quality makers insist on using Std. FSB's on their "just as good as" flat-top rifles & carbines is totally beyond me...
Oh yea... I forgot... it's because they flat don't care and their gonna stick a NON-Mil-Spec handle on it... But don't you worry Mr. Buyer, because it's "just as good as" a __________.
