Can you reverse it...? So it folds forward? Should give you the same effect when sighting.. I may be wrong

 

[carbonrod]

does it zero, or is the sight too low?

You put your sight on backwards. Flat side towards muzzle and sloped side towards your eye.

I don't think that sight is a gas block sight, it's a handguard rail mounted sight. The height would be way too low on a gas block.

I stand correct, from MI website, they offer a gas block version which states to mount it with it folding forward.

Firstly, you should mount it reverse. Secondly, that's not a gas block sight... looks too short. You gotta exchange it for the right item.

Good luck. I made the same mistake a while ago

I run my Troy front sight folded forward. I find it easier to pull the sight up, then push it forward. It over hangs a little over my rail to add to the grip when I am wearing gloves. Which is all the time.
YMMV,

You have the sight on backwards, it is supposed to flip forwards.

Comparing it to the pic on MI's website, his is the taller one, the MCTAR-FFG.

Geez! Silly me! It is on backwards...

And it's really a gas block height sight. The alignment with the BUIS looks ok. But I'll have to check it out on the range.

Thanks guys, I'll remember this one!
