My AR is a flat top, but it DOES have a A2 front sight. I've put an M4 Red dot on it. Funny thing is... the red dot is actually sighted on the front sight... so it's still a point and shoot. And its very accurate. you've heard of the movie "Eyes wide shut"? My take on it is "Both Eyes Open". Woo Hoo!

Not a monkey in the works. Go to PrimaryArms.com and take a look at their Red dots (even if you don't buy). I've purchased THREE of their red dots, and they are simply wonders to behold. Keep their zero and run on 1 AA battery.

As this type of optic is truly parallax free, the dot moves around as the shooter's head is moved. If the shooter raises his/her head, then the dot will appear at the top of the sighting window. The dot appearing on the top of the front post proves that you've got a proper cheekweld.
I'm a big (though relatively new) fan of red dot sights, and I plan to get another pone for my latest 5.56 build. I used a carry handle and A2 front sight for years, and thought it worked out just fine. The CompML3 is so much quicker and simpler that I was truly amazed.

Here is another option, If you want BUIS you can go this route, which what i plan on putting on my AR build along with a Aimpoint CompML3.
Food for thought!!! http://www.surefire.com/DD-RTS-SET

Well, I think for now I will stick with the red dot. I may in the future put on some BUIS sights on but for now this is just a play gun so that is not needed. I will use the red dot for a while and see how it goes!
Thanks All
