Hi guys :)

I have a AR15 with a 14.5 inch barrel, and pretty sure its also a carbine lenght gas system. I have a carryhandle with the 6/3 mark ( and also a little "z" mark if it matters ). The front sight is non "F" marked if it matters ( shouldent it bee thou if its a flattop carbine!? ).

Now the question is: What is the click value of 1 click on the elevation drum on 100 meters?

All info i can find is in yards / inches.

Best regards, Peter

Remember when you asked your teacher in school “When am I going to use this math?”

Well...

100y = 91.44m

Inches per click @ 100y = inches per click at 91.44m

91.44m / 100m = .9144

Inches per click / .9144 = inches per 100m

Multiply inch per click @ 100m by 2.54 = CM per click at 100m.

For the M4 carbine:
  • Each click of the windage knob on the rear sight is 0.5 minutes of angle
  • Each click of the elevation drum is 0.75 minutes of angle
  • 3.43 minutes of angle = 1.0 milliradians = 10 cm/100 m

If 1.0 moa = 3.43 milliradians, and the click value is 3/4 moa, then shouldent the click value bee 3/4 of a milliradian?

Sry if i am little slow here ;-)
 
Just started putting together my first national match m16a4 so just wanted to clarify something here. If you have a 6/3, that would indicate a detachable carry handle which would mean a flat top upper. If that's the case wouldn't you need a F-marked front sight as those are the appropriate height for flat tops?

"F" Marked Front Sight Base

There is no difference in the overall height of an “F” marked front sight base and a standard front sight base. The only difference between the two front sight bases is the height of the sight “shelf” above the top of the barrel.
