![]() Not only were these prone to movement under recoil, but also the aperture got closer to the eye and thus larger in angular size as the range increased, the opposite of what’s needed for precise alignment.Ī low-profile red dot on a railed handguard is one possible solution. ![]() The stock sights are fine for engaging enemy infantry but hitting point targets–something size of a ground hog or a head sticking out of a trench–at extended range is more difficult. For close range, the sights may be ignored completely in favor of pointing down the trough in the upper handguard. The M2-style ladder sight is range and windage adjustable in finer increments, but on all examples I’ve seen, the aperture moves up the ladder to longer-range settings on recoil. The older 100/200 yard two-aperture flip sights are simple and easy but require a drift punch for windage adjustments and offer no elevation adjustment at all. I like the M1 carbine, but it offers two imperfect sighting options.
