Experimental Chinese Gen 3's, found them on ebay.... the "night sight" or low light function is what got me... I thought it was kinda a neat Idea and worth a little to give them a try....

So If they suck im not out to much

Yep aren't Magpul. Front is on backwards and rear is too far back.

Fifth, it does look like you need to move your rear sight forward a few notches.

Got a link?

I just checked on it in the closet... its still glowing brightly after 45 minutes.......

Rear is at T2
Front is at T2


Seems like a pretty good sight picture... i need to pick up a laser bore sight to get it all lined up perfectly... but so far impressed

SnS thanks for the link.

I can see where you got confused, as they don't even have them installed correctly in their pictures.

As they call them "luminous", I would assume that it is glowing paint, and NOT powered by tritium.

I'm still not sure what the purpose of that crossbar is on both sights. Weird.

When the rear sight is folded down flat, the tip of it should extend to the edge of the receiver, but not beyond it. When you flip it up, it should flip away from you and leave a little section of blank rail space (right above the charging handle).

If that makes sense.

Yep thats how I have them now.... What ever this paint is is glows realy bright and seems to last... it sure isnt some cheap walmart glow in the dark paint that lasts a few minutes.. its going on 55 minutes and still going on strong

 

[esrice]

Can you post pics of what they look like when flipped down? As viewed through the "pistol" sights?

Interesting. Looking forward to your shooting impressions.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I am too... I need to get my lower back and put together, and a laser bore sight to get it all lined up... but I should be good to rock n roll with it...

if they turn out to be junk Im out 8 dollars thats it....

Another pic. I know this isnt right. Thats with 14 in the mag. If I put 3 or rounds in it looks a little straighter.

looks like your mag is deformed on the top left..... try bending it in a bit...

 

[esrice]

Some PWs should find this interesting.

I dug up an old "before" picture of lovemywoods' range.

AFTER

 

[SEIndSAM]

Is there an obstruction in the mag well?

 

[SEIndSAM]

Wow, that looks like a nice range.

Thays not part of the mag. I think its part of the trigger reset.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

drop the mag and give me a shot of the top of the mag by itself

Esrice, that is excellent! Love it.
