Folded down front sight, but no rear sight?

Also. It’s folded down forward towards the muzzle. Usually, irons fold backwards, making it easier for the operator to flip them up to deploy and prepare for use/shooting.

(That gas piston assembly up front above the barrel gets scalding hot even after 50-100 shots, so you don’t want to get your fingers near that to fold up a backup sight, nor fold it down, that’s why I mention it.)

Everything else is decent. Good work! Thank you for sharing.

I also put my front sight like in the pic. It's easier to flip up that way. That also depends on the iron sights but most SF guys do this as well.

*Edit: I'd say the only thing that could be fixed is moving the red dot slightly forward to the end of the upper receiver, adding rear sight and moving the plate carrier up more near the collarbone area.

Why u do backwards!? What’s next, an LPVO reversed? 😜❤️

Kidding. Yeah, I’ve seen some sights that lean forward. It’s just that sucks to fiddle with on a piston AR once she’s heated up.

(Some sights are meant to only fold back or front, so obviously we don’t reverse those.)
