So I finally built my upper and installed a Midwest Industries Gen 2 SS hand guard. I go to install some Magpul MBUS sights and they are a no go. The screw that you tighten is too fat and is hitting the top of the rail.

Anyone else have fitment problems with their equipment? What Back up sights can I get that will work? I thought Milspec meant Milspec!

I have emails to each company.

But it has to be a DirtySCREW! Lol

I did remove the screw but it would not go where I wanted it....I wanted it flush with the end of the rail. I understand now that it has to go in between the slots. I will attempt again when I get home.

Hey...everyone has to get their cherry popped with ARs sometime. ....;)

You'll be a bona fide expert at this in 30 days ;)

Did I mention it will be time to build another in 30 days?

I am pretty sure you are going to need a dremel to get the sight on. Make sure to polish all the surfaces after you are done cutting as it will reduce the trigger pull weight and make the gun sub-MOA at 1500 yards! ;)

Oh yeah, by the way, this ;) means don't use a dremel on anything. They are made by the devil and nothing good comes from their spinning awesomeness of evil!!!

Yeah..I'm shopping for a flash hider cause I ain't putting the standard A2 birdcage one I have on. It needs something that looks better. I'm thinking of a YHM Phantom...or there was a Troy one I liked I believe.
