KISS-keep it simple s....

I am a fan of simple, rugged, and proven. I would recommend a standard A2 rear and just know the aimpoint for 7 yds. I would strongly recommend a non-folding front sight post. Actually I would replace the gas block with a fixed front sight gas block but that's me. The tritium front is wise, the stripe has a square post and I believe their dot has a round post top. The round post is not as good for longer range in my experience but your mileage may vary. Temper this all with the fact I run an old M16 round rubber buttpad fixed stock on my AR, simple, rugged, and proven.
