    Hi guys and girls;
    I know I've seen/found it before but for some reason I haven't been able to find it this morning. Maybe I'm still asleep.
    Anyway, does anyone know the front sight elevation gradient - MOA and then the rear sight elevation and windage -MOA for the standard Mil-Spec AR-15 Battle sight. Thanks.

    OK, I thought I found it but I did not. The Military uses Meters and not Yardage so I have no idea at this point but I have read some good articles on the subject. All I wanted to know was if the settings were in Minute of Angle or what?

    If I am reading your question correctly, the rear sight has 1 minute elevation clicks and 1/2 minute wind clicks on a standard AR15A2. On the front sight, one full revolution is 5 minutes on the A2 sight.

    I hope this helps..

    Yes, that's what I'm trying to confirm.
    Thank you.
