Echo 1 SIGHTS

Like I said I want the M4 Tactical Carbine (http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_163&products_id=2356) but I have a problem. I have planned on putting a red-dot scope on it. Will the front sight get in the way? If so, what should I do.

Oh ya, the scope I wanted to put on it was this one.

I think you would be able o take it off but i am not familiar with that style of AS gun so if im wrong your SOL

Oh good. I didn't know the front sight came off. I knew the carrying-handle could come off though.

Hey wesley if the sight has to come off I can do it for you.

I don't know how to take em off, but to remove the triangular front sight, your going to have to replace it even IF you manage to replace it. Its two pins I believe that you just pop out.
Your going to need front flip-up sights which in return might cost you about 20-50 bucks..

What I'd do instead, so you can keep your ironsights, and a carrying handle incase you EVER get lazy, is to get this.

And for ultimate rail real estate, you can put say a peq box laser, or whatever you want really.

Ok, thanks.

ya if you take off the front sight, you will have to put on a flip up sight

Ok. Is there a red-dot scope that I can just put on there and the front sight wont get in the way?

Protip: Red dots were made to work WITH your front and rear sights. You should first zero the iron sights then zero the red dot to the iron sights...

If you don't understand.... Well... Just keep the front sight on.... Its supposed to "be in the way"...

Once you have zeroed your red dot, then some guys like to flip down their concealable irons. If you don't have flip up irons then theres no need to remove your current irons....

sticks

I understand

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH cool.

I just bought a scope riser for my M4 TC (love the gun, btw). $11 on Amazon w/ free ship because i put some other stuff on. im then planning on buying a 4x scope, which is why i bought the riser.

br55ftw, could you please write out the web address. I want to see it. It would be helpful to know where to get one if I need one.

It was actually $12.95, but here it is:

Thanks, I will get that if I need it.

the scope is used with the sights, you first sight in your sights then the scope to the sights

bud, why not keep it on?

I bought a riser b/c I'm using a magnified scope, and I've tried using magnified scopes w/ the iron sights on. It doesn't work...

I just received the riser, and it's very good quality; full metal, and it raises the scope above the sight. There is a see-through section that allows use of the iron sights, although the M4's are too high. Maybe a G36 or AK-47 would work for the see-through part.

That is neat.
