FSB's in 2020?

[markm]

I've broken rails and rail mounted fixed front sights. They're massively more fragile than a real FSB. As far as weight savings, If I carry a carbine that many hours, all the more reason to have a solid sight that can stand up to punishment.

Didn't you have one that flattened just falling onto your garage floor?

My new pistola build has an FSB. Its the most bombproof front sight out there. Think im gonna run a scalarworks rear on it.

MSG Jared Van Aalst (KIA, RIP) was one of my NCOs, formerly of the 3rd Ranger Battalion, the USAMU, the infantry sniper school, and Delta. He stated there was definitely a shift with the SPR's rail-mounted front sight if you leaned into the bipod for distance shots.

Everyone will remember him differently, his friends, family, team mates, and everyone else who crossed paths with him in one place or another. I remember him as an expert marksman who brought a sniper’s focus and attention to detail to every task he threw himself at. I remember the guy who had a sense of history and that I could talk about past Rangers and Ranger history with. I remember the dude who made knives and smoked cigars on the range. I also remember a perfectionist and a leader who held you to high standards.

And then the EMP hit

And my Acogs and LPVO's continued to work as they always have.....

For a hard use, WW3, Chinese invasion (WOLVERINES!!!), go to war gun, I choose a fixed FSB. I think a perfect setup would be a FSB on a mid length gun.

All my guns have either fsb or a pinned block under the rail,never have any issues that way,Js

For folks who are running an FSB and laser aiming devices, what kind of setup are you using?

I ask because when you're running an FSB, you give up several inches of top rail and the setup can feel a bit tight...

I run a KAC carbine RAS handguard, with a DBAL A3 and Surefire dual switch mounted at the 12 o’clock position. Space is tight, so I use a vertical grip to drive the weapon. I think my next build will use a mid length gas system and a 9” handguard.

Centurion FSP rails.
