Jimmyhots, really enjoyed your work. Thanks. And thanks to the guys pointing me to part one. One thing that bothers me about the flat top weapons I have is that it seems nearly impossible to get "nose to charging handle" as I was trained to do many years ago in both the Army and the Marine Corps. I seem to remember being told that this was important beause it ensures that one's head is in the same position in relation to the rear sight each time one fires the weapon. Maybe it is just me, I don't know. But for some reason I find myself yearning for the old A1 or A2 sights. Any of you older guys experience this?

The real problem is probably that I very rarely get to fire my weapons because I am never home. Heck, I have not been to a range since Christmas time in 2010! I just keep piling up ammo for when I do get time.

Is my yearning for "nose to charging handle" positioning just something dumb I have let myself think I have to do to be accurate? Or is it simply a problem of not knowing what to do with my nose now that it is not used because of iron sights on a flat top upper? A little humor there, but heck... it really bothers me! I learned with an old M16 A1
