Odd question. I dont think i have ever heard of sights melting on top of a riser

I have used this on my gas block of my lr 308 with out any issues, but I am not doing a lot of rapid fire.

You'll be fine with it. To heat up to the point of melting, you'll have barrel issues first !!!

I drifted mine with a brass punch. Use a piece of rag between the punch and sight if you want added precaution. Mine are composite and or alloy.. They are well made though. I will say that you will probably are going to have to file the sights to fit.

Well the rail is low, but you cannot see the iron sights like it said in the ad. I never put it on the gun, so I never got to the ring phase. I suspect any would work, it just a matter of your cheek weld and what is most comfortable.

Dennis Wiggins is correct. Take a look at his answer. Also, remember to use BLUE loctite. NOT RED. The sights are good. The tritium works great and Iʻve had these installed on one of my Glockʻs for over a year. This particular gun often sits in my safe for months, and every time I open the safe those dots are glowing!

I do not have the magpul B.U.I.S. sights on my rifle, but instead the stock ones. I can use both the EXPS2-2 and the open sights with the STS off to the side.

I shouldn't. I've fired over 200 rounds and haven't had any type of misfire, or failure to fire. Just make sure that the rails in the receiver line up properly, and make the screw hand tight.

I would confirm with a local gun Smith, but after checking different sites it looks like MA requires a ten pound trigger pull if the gun doesn't have an external safety. All Shields have one that I know of. That is the only MA compliance related issue I could see, so it should be just fine to install. Again I would talk to a local gunsmith, just to be sure. Unless you are really experienced with gun mechanics you should have a gunsmith install it anyhow. The back sight needs to come off to replace a spring under the sight. It's a bitch to move. Most models need a press to move the sights, copper punch won't work. I had a gunsmith ruin a couple on mine. Since the back sight must be removed it's a good time to replace to tritium sights, if you are thinking about XS BIG DOT sights email me to talk you out if it at darchie@gmail http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3633523

The barrel/slide end entends beyond the mount on my Glock .40 by about a half inch so there should be no risk of melting the mount. Though not mentioned, the mount sits high enough off the top of the slide on my Glock to allow me to utilize the factory sights. it is a nice piece of equipment, better than I hoped it would be.

Yes, bus don't Worry uf you bought a good batt. Longs almost a year , my advice use Green loctite to screw not a heavy one because in te future yo Will not able to unscrew andar yo Will damage the sight, if you have more questions please be my guest regards Hugo N. Gunsmith

Yes. Drive out the old front sight with a punch and replace with these. First, take a triangular file and gently reduce the base on the firesight until it goes easily into the slot. Use epoxy or thread lock to hold in place. The firesight will not take heavy pounding.

No I doubt it will cause any damage. The buttons are rubberized and these sights are military grade so they should be able to withstand a lot of abuse. Love these sights. Hope this helps

YES! They'll rust bad after about 2yrs. Even if you try keeping wax on them. The steel has alot of carbon witch is what makes them tuff and it makes them rust pit. If your worried about the appearence buy something else. I chucked these, they just got to looking too bad and I got tired of cleaning rust stains off my mags.

i used a utg rear flip sight with it, that's probably your best bet. since they are made by the same company they can be used easily used together!

Shouldn't have any problems. They also make picatinny to weaver converter rails if things don't work out.

You shouldnt have a problem breaking the loctite. But on the other hand.. You probobly wont ever remove the sights :)

You will completely and utterly destroy this thing with a .223 round. That can be fun too though.
