Tru-Glo AR15 tritium/FO site post

[jdman]

Hey guys,

anyone try these? I got a set for my Bday, and just went to install them. I have found the front part, where the front site post lock pin goes, is too big to fit into the hole. Anyone else find this?

What did you do to fix it? Grind down the site itself, or ream out the hole a bit bigger. There is not much to grind, so i may just go this way.

Thanks for any help!

I dont know, it has instructions of how to adjust the elevation, so...???
Anyone???

They work for fixed FSB rifles only. The "stem" of the sight hangs below the FSB so it won't work on folders. Aside from that, they're pretty nice. I had to change to a folding front so I dumped mine.

I guess i will take out the dremmel, and grind some off. Was hoping it was a one off set, missed the QC. I can describe it better, it is just touching a bit on the corners closest to the receiver. It will not drop in and sit where it should in the hole that holds the original adjustment lock pin. There is maybe a mm or so to grind on each side, kinda didnt want to do that, as that would void any warranty. Which looks to be non existent so i may just do that.

 

[TDC]

That would be the easiest option. Go easy with the dremel, touch it up with some paint and no one will be the wiser.

I got the Trijicon ones for mine; work fine for any fold-downs (replaced the standard one on my Troy M4 BUIS).

Or you could use the proper means of contacting them, say email or phone?

Like i said, they were a gift. I didnt purchase them my father in law did. I have messaged him twice, and got zero response. Whatever... There are a lot of other vendors who respond to inquires in a timely fashion. No skin off my sac.
