I built a dedicated multi gun rifle last year with a carbon fiber tube. I used an acog as the weapon sight which is great for 30 yard plus shots but sucks for close in work.
To remedy this, I started with these Offset sights:
These have very course sights and a very short sightbase. It makes a headshot almost impossible at any distance.
I decided to replace version 1 with Barry Dueck's Rapid Transition sights:
The problem with this Offest sight set up is that I went with a clark customs Carbon fiber free float tube to save weight. 6oz including barrel nut. howevever, the Clark tube nopt only does not have a forward rail section, it has no provision for mounting one.
I decided that I could add a section of rail to the front top of this tube.
the first step was removing material from the back of the rail section to get it level with the rail on the upper receiver:
Once the material was removed, we leveled the upper receiver and then found center on the tube:
Once center was located, we tapped the tube and installed the bolts and backers.
We test fitted the rail section:
The milling process removed a lot material. Infact, the step that the bolts catch on and held the rail to the tube was milled away. Therefore, the bolts were used to center the rail section.
The area was them masked off in preperation for the epoxy:
JB Weld should bond the magpul plastic to the carbon fiber without any issues.
The Dueck defense RTS sights have been ordered. I am a dealer and I have an extra set for sale.
