Yes it does. As I stated before if you are using the rear iron forward of the last slot, you will have an incorrect sight picture. Your eye should be as close to the rear aperture as is comfortable so when you take up a sight picture your eye will naturally centralize through the rear sight allowing you to concentrate on placement of the front sight.
The further your eye is away from the rear sight the more margin there is for error.
The manufacturers instruction also specifically say to put the sight on the last notch.

You Ottawa area black rifle shooters: We have a few Service Rifle and Service CQB matches happening in the Ottawa area (Connaught Ranges).
Roughly: Mid May, Mid June, Early August and Early Oct. Still have not finalized the official schedule yet, but you know that this action his happening close to you.
Okay back to WeaverD's great looking build. How about a range report?

This doesn't mean that the site is as closest possible to your eye as you state above; As every individuals focal plane is different, (as in whether they wear glasses or not, or what vision category they might have)......it may require that it not sit as close to the eye as "manufactures suggestions" might recommend. This is quite likely to result on it being on less than the last "slot" of the reciever mount, which is fine.
BTW......definition of eye relief (BUIS) is; "defined as the distance between your eye and the site aperture at which you get a full field of view of the front site & target".
Same context, different language.

Unless he has a freakishly long neck or is craning his head forward into an improper position, the sight is in the wrong spot. I hate sounding like a broken record but poor information being posted directed at a new AR shooter bothers me.
Your definition is exactly my point. When shooting BUIS the focus is on the tgt and the front post, which is why the rear aperture must be close to the eye...so when you peer through the hole you have a full view of the tgt.
I'll put it to you this way: if you were to stand back from a key hole in an old door and try to look through into the room on the other side what would you see??...A very small glint of light and that's it. If you move yourself right up tight to the keyhole, you are now able to see into the room.
Same principle applies here.
Anyway, the original poster can take my advice or leave it (as always with information found on the internet).

the buis has now been moved all the way back
does it make a difference now that it is all the way back, is it better for you ?
just wondering
sometimes what is right, might not work for a particular shooter ? I am only guessing, not stating
or is it one for all and all for one.....?

i will have to determine that at the range
Welcome to the club.
All you have to do now, is shoot the hell out of it, and become as broke as me obtaining more ammo.
well hopefully not broke
im in the process of setting up a relader for 223

Have a look at this document, in particular page 2 and page 4. Page 5 has it in the rear position.

Where your back up site is placed is secondary to your primary in most cases.
I know, weaverd is using it as primary most likely, but maybe he does have a long neck. Not a big deal, he would have sorted it out himself anyway I'm sure.
