Stonebuster Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) As far as I know, this is a 2013 model. Never fired except for proofing. This is the A4 configuration. Nothing fancy. It came with a set of Sig Sauer flip up sights. So I put them on there. From RRA I have ordered an extra cam pin, firing pin retainer and firing pin. And a set of rings. I have lubed the bolt with Mobil synthetic 40 wt. And its receiver surfaces. I will post up again on this thread, once I fire a group or two. Buster Edited June 3, 2021 by Stonebuster

Stonebuster Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Posted June 9, 2021 Today's post I will call sighting and function firing fun. My LAR-8 Flattop came with a set of cheap folding sights. I didn't realize that the LAR-8 gas block and rear rail are in disagreement for such sights. As I sighted in at 25 yards, you can see from the pic that the first two were high and left. I dialed a click right and raised the front post (no rear adjustment with these sights) and this put me in the 10 and x. When I went back to 100 I fired three rounds. They were all in a 2.5" group but 14" high! As I attempted to dial in the front post it has the indignity of flinging the spring and retaining thinggie heavenward. Good bye then. The LAR-8 Carry Handle sight and front sight are quite dear. I have a set of rings on order from RRA and a scope was my ultimate destination anyway so I may dismiss a bare sighting option for this rifle. Man, the rifle feels great and ran smooth at least for my eight rounds. I look forward to continuing break-in, albeit with a better sighting system. The bolt on the rifle is still wet with the Mobil oil so I will just clean the face, chamber and bore. Then wait on my rings and find some suitable glass. Cheers to all. Buster

Rock River is really good to deal with, it sucks that some of their stuff is proprietary.
shooterrex Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 Yep rail height and gas block height are two different things. There are front sights on the market made for gas block height.

98Z5V Posted July 14, 2021 Report Posted July 14, 2021 I love the look of those chopped-down carry handle A2 rear sights. Well done. That's probably the rear-sight route I'm gonna go on the next one coming up. It's either that, or another MaTech rear.
