Question about sights

Posted by aCertainsmallCracker@reddit | GunnitRust | View on Reddit | 18 comments

Hey chaps, I'm in a bit of a quandary over this. What do you think would better with the aesthetic of this? Should I go full irons or would an optic of some sort look better? If optic, what style?

Personally, Im not sure what would look better

I would go with a scope.

Iron sights would be more fitting if you wanted it to look like an HK SL-7

Either a low profile mount with a nice clean looking lpvo or even a cool fixed prism

Or barrel mounted M1 carbine style sights.

My big issue with these SCR type rifles are the need for really low sights

Yeah I noticed that. I've thought about putting a cheek riser on it. This one though, the only spot I have to put front sights on, is something barrel mounted. So I might need an extra tall front sight and a really low rear sight lol

If you’re a talented enough carpenter you could cut an extra cheek spot and raise it.

Do you have machine tools? You could buy an off the shelf A4 type rear block and make your own sight for the front

I actually saw that thread lol. I honestly really liked how it looked

It's a custom one I made because I didn't want to spend 350 dollars on a woox handguard.

Low profile irons

What lower is that?

It's a fightlite SCR lower

old school shiny blue trad scope. Lyman alaskan, maybe

Keeping in the traditional style rifle look I think a regular looking hunting style scope with maybe raised rings so old school irons can be added and still usable
