    It depends on the relationship of the bore and sights to gravity. As long as the bore is between the sights and the ground it makes no differences what the angel of the weapon. So if you have some back up sights that are offset at 45 degrees and you turn the weapon 45 degrees when firing then everything lines up.

    No problem, that is a good write up bkb0000. Yeah, the sight radius was the real worry with running standard buis so close to each other. well My curiosity is satisfied, thanks for the replies(for the most part).

    OP, there is a pic floating around on here of a gun belonging to gotm4 that I believe he uses for rifle matches. One set of irons mounted on top and then another set mounted to DD 45 degree mounts (or something similar). If you're really interested you should check that out. Sorry I can't find it now, I'll look again tomorrow when I'm on a better connection. Maybe the AR picture thread or the Magpul AFG thread???

    Don't know if this is exactly the pic I was thinking of but take a look at the second rifle down. I'm sure if you pm him, he might give you the scoop.

    Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Still seems like the 10" hand guard is going to make the sight radius too short for reliable use of iron sights, even at shorter distances. Thanks for the leg work Bud. To Glockeyed, that is the type of setup I speak of it's just that those tactical BUIS like those look like they would snag way more than regular BUIS that could fold down.

    10" sight radius is much greater than most pistols, and they shoot pretty good in shorter ranges, ie. under 40 m.

    I've seen guys shoot like that. Some well known. It just would never feel right for me.
