    Offset Irons

    I'm looking for a set of offset irons that will work with this MI mount and optic.

    This Troy rear sight is as far forward as the shell deflector will allow but I've lost ambi functionality on the charging handle. Are y'all using any lower profile versions that would preserve ambi functionality with the charging handle?

    I’m using Griffin fixed offset BUIS, but with a non-ambi CH. Might fit the bill.

    You might look at the Diamondhead offset sights.

    Looks like the scope mount (QD lever) might be an issue as well.

    If you could move the BUIS forward one notch, the ambi CH may become usable on the right side. The MI offset BUIS will mount one notch further up without interference with the deflector. Look at photo #4 in the link and see if that clearance will work for you.

    Short of flipping up the rear sight, I'm not sure that an ambi CH and folding offset BUIS are going to play well together.

    He cannot move it forward. The shell deflector is in the way. I had the same issue with the Troy sights. I move the rear sight to the rear of the 15" KMR handguard and it worked fine.

    I'm left-handed, I'm using the Griffin Fail Safe Sight with a Radian Raptor CH. Works for me, but I'l also using a Scalarworks mount and don't have to deal those throw levers .
