May I compliment you on your choice of makers, Mack?
At the risk of getting a wedgie from the Norinco guys, I have noticed that the more manly posters gravitate toward the more manly rifles.
What about that front sight though..doesn't it obscure the optics?

I've got the Eotech co-witnessed with the front sight post . Put the center dot of the Eotech reticle right on top and holes happen where you shoot . It's great. Actually I just noticed on the last picture of my rifle it doesn't have the BUIS on it . I've added a Magpul MBUS . Now I have to get a picture of it , the Eotech is more forward now .
Awesome rifle . Thanks eh !
I'll answer your question. No, the front sight doesn't cause issues. When you use the sight properly with both eyes open and your focus is on the target you don't notice the front sight. Some still opt for a low profile gas block and a folding sight.
Nice looking rifle, very simple I like that.

Very nice piece. I, too, like how you've kept it simple (practical). Too many AR owners "pimp up" their rifles with so much rediculous pointless accessories in reality adding less to it's actual effectiveness factor (though I suppose more to it's "coolness" factor). The AR was initially designed to be a lightweight rifle. The carbine even more so. It's kind of bad, don't you think, when an AR carbine weighs more than a standard rifle? That's just my opinion on the matter.
I own a Sabre Defence XR subcarbine. Only thing I've have added is a C9 FN rear-grip handle as a foregrip to the handguard and am planning on getting a better (more solid, stable) stock and possibly a decent optical sight eventually. For the meantime I'm going to up my accuracy with conventional sights. The rifle only has a 0.29m (11.5") barrel, so the longest range I'll bother firing it is 200m. Anything at a 100m or closer I can do fine with iron sights.
I love my XR-15CQBR! I've never fired an AR type rifle with such a small barrel, let alone own one. I've fired C7s, C7A1s/A2s, M16A2s/A4s, C8A1s/A2s, and M4A1 (and a couple civilian variants friends owned). So even though it's a greatly familiar weapon system, it's still a new experience.
I'll flash some pics around here soon. Likewise, wouldn't mind seeing the final product of your Bushy with all tac gear assembled (sling, etc).

nice rifle! i would, however, trade you both of my AR's for your MP5 PDW
Oh don't I wish ! It's a GSG-5 in .22lr , just put some pics of it up in the rimfire section . The MP5's run some pretty hearty $$$$ !
Still a great plinker though ...
