Handy for zeroing in

Well made, and works flawlessly on 2 retro AR builds. Only issue I had was there wasn't enough width clearance to adjust the 4 prong front sight on a B Kings Colt 733 clone upper. The issue is likely that this particular receiver wasn't built to mil spec, but be advised if you're using an upper from that particular company it may not work. Otherwise great piece to own.

Thank you.

This thing is hard to find in brick and mortar stores but thanks to Brownells it’s available (when in stock) it’s a must if you have the Daniel Defense 1.5 rear sight or have a Colt 723 upper receiver (Gary Gordon rifle. It works great. I brought two because two is one and one is none.

It arrived with a little corrosion but a little CLP and a little scribe and chisel helped out with that. Other wise it looks military grade.
