I have an S&W M&P 15 Sport with the A2 front sight. I hadn't thought about the laser of this BSA scope possibly not working with that front sight. Can you tell me if that is a problem?
Also, it may or may not work with a folding front sight depending on the height of your front sight when folded. I added these comment to the Con portion of the review. Thanks.
I recently purchased the TW30RDLL for my Colt AR that still has a carry handle. Leaving the light on top of the sight system makes the whole unit look a little top heavy, if there is such a thing. I happened to have a cantilevered scope mount laying around, so installed that with just the sight system. I took the flashlight and mounted that right in front, and just below the sight package. The laser clears the fixed front sight with no problem - and the cool thing is when you turn on the flashlight, the front sight is silhouetted on the target (close range). Mine came w/o pressure switch and allen wrenches, nor the directions on how to change batteries. But for the money, well worth it.
Does not look AR friendly, with front sight post.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the laser will intersect on the front sight post.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
The laser will not work with a fixed front sight. The centerline of the laser is about 0.56" above the rail.
