Fellas,

I am 99% tickled to death with my Radian , however I've discovered it doesn't like offset sights made by KAC. Have any of you found a particular set that does work? I'm surprised that there hasn't been discussion about this before, that I'm aware of. I suppose I could go the over the top, pretentious [;)] route and slap an angled RMR, or Aimpoint mount on, but I'm not certain that will work any better with that section of top rail. Any help would be appreciated. I've never used an offset electronic optic, but I have offset sights on a couple rifles and have managed to get used to having that utility for close-up shots.

Why doesn't it like the offset sights? Just curious is all; I have all AXTS lowers for my 5.56 guns, but don't care for their uppers. That being said, the MBUS Pros Offset rears I run definitely are a tight squeeze on the Vltor MUR receivers, due to the location of the forward assist and the use of ambi charging handles limiting how far back I can run them.

I find that the ears of the Raptor sometimes interferes with rear offsets... but I don't have much experience using offsets as I don't generally like them.

I've not had this problem with any rifle until this upper.
