AR-15 Zeros and Trajectories

Molon, you should write a book! Or someone should hire you to write a book...

With the information you provide, as well as the excellent photos, it would be a good seller I believe...

What are the intended uses for a square front sight post vs one that is tapered?

The tapered flat sided post is Colt's M4 front sight post... and my favorite for carbean shooting. I read somewhere that it was to allow a better visual on your target.

Excellent post; very informative and detailed. My head is spinning from all the choices I need make in setting up my middies.

Well done...

Yes, thanks much for so well illustrating and explaining the flexibilty we (USMC) tried to build into the A2's rear sight back in 1983. Unfortunately, much of that was lost due to the Operator's Manual being limited to one basic "fits all" procedure; and the concrete being dried on so many 25 meter ranges common in those days.

Excellent post!! Thank you for the valuble info. I have already read it a couple of times and am applying it to my detachable carry handle sight base. Now I will have to head out to the range.
Will removing the detachable carry handle affect the zero once it is set??
I have a red dot coming in the mail (aimpoint comp M2) and will mount it when it arrives. I am a newbie to red dots an am wondering if the method for zero is different.
