[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 2776401, member: 5316"] Dave, What kind of optic and what are you going to do with it? I always could only see one pro for a A2 FSB. They take a pretty good beating and still perform as intended. I was intrigued enough about your question to dig to the back of the safe and pull out a Colt 6920. I popped a scope on it and I was actually surprised on how little the front sight interfered. I’ve raised the backups on some of my others and they have seemed much worse. A lower 1/3 co-witness with 1x sights is not bad at all, but I prefer the cleaner view without it. With a RR you might want to stay with a chrome lined barrel if you intend to run it in squirt mode much at all. Personally I’d stay away from the A2 FSB on a 10.5” to be able to run a longer uninterrupted forearm. Here is the 6920 with my Meotac 1-4x mounted with a Bobro mount. That I tested. I need to try it again outside at 200 yards or so and see what it looks like. Below are 9”, 10.5”, and 12.5” uppers with the majority of their usual accessories on it. I’ve been changing/testing some configurations and still don’t have everything just quite settled. Currently my hands down favorite is the 9” setup. 200 yards with the T2 is not really a problem if I do my part. Rick [ATTACH=CONFIG]49544[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]49545[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
