Mig Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 My AR-10 is in need of iron sights but I having trouble finding anything other than the stock Armalite AR-10 sights. The AR-10 weaver-style gas block isn't on the same plane as the flattop recr. so using AR-15 sights won't work. I would like to get the longest possible sight radius and I'm looking for a clamp-on front sight that will work. Anyone have any recommendation?

George Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I was able to make a JP clamp on front sight base work with a non-standard flat top rail on an AR I have because the front base is adjustable with shims. I had to deal with almost a quarter inch of offest and it worked fine. The only hassle was the need to remove the muzzle brake to slide the base over the barrel. It's a one piece design and uses three set screws on the bottom. I put mine right up against the muzzle brake for the increased sight radius. I will bet that JP Rifles can supply a base that will work for your AR-10. Here is the JP page showing the clamp-on front sight block and some options for detachables: http://www.jprifles.com/DetachableSights.shtml The basic clamp-on sight block is the JPSB and it is available in three barrel diameters. -- Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 At the SMM3G, Jerry Miculek was using detachable DPMS iron sights on his .308 AR. The DPMS catalog has quite a bit of stuff for the .308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
