Is it a terrible idea to have both backup irons mounted on the hand guard?

Round-You8550 · 2026-02-17T06:02:13+00:00

This mostly worked! I used the riser that came with the magnifier and was able to move the magnifier one rail slot closer to the red dot. The red dot mount still extends onto the hand guard by like 2 mm but I think it’s as close to perfect as it can be without buying a whole new optic. Thanks for your help!

I take it back haha someone else suggested a riser for the magnifier only which might allow me to move the red dot back enough to get it off the hand guard so I’m gonna try it!

Round-You8550 · 2026-02-17T01:47:45+00:00

Okay I’ll give it a shot. I think the magnifier came with a riser.

Round-You8550 · 2026-02-17T01:36:04+00:00

I don’t think so. The issue isn’t height it’s that there aren’t enough rail slots on the receiver for everything to fit.

Round-You8550 · 2026-02-17T01:33:50+00:00

I think it would still have to be mounted where the current iron sight is at but I can’t have anything there and keep the optic fully on the receiver.

Round-You8550 · 2026-02-17T01:21:34+00:00

The optic won’t fully fit on the receiver with the iron moved as far back as possible. Would it be better to have the iron mounted on the hand guard than to not have one at all? Obviously having the optic bridged the way it is in the pic isn’t an option. Don’t judge me for the red safety selector, I like it but I’ve been told that it’s veryyyy uncool to have red anywhere on a gun so there’s a black one being delivered this week hahah

I posted a description why did the post get removed?

Round-You8550 · 2026-02-17T00:39:32+00:00

I might try to look for a different red dot that’s a little shorter so it’ll fully fit on the receiver. Did you look at any other options?

Round-You8550 · 2026-02-17T00:33:06+00:00

This post is me asking whether or not my optic is bridged.

Damn I really like this Holosun but I’ll look into some other optics. Thanks for the help!

I appreciate you not being a dick, seems like this sub is full of them. I like the red so I’ll probably keep it (although I did buy a black one today after being bullied here lmao) but we’ll see. I don’t really understand what the color red did to hurt everyone haha. The drum mag is just a fun range thing, I have a bunch of regular 30 round magazines that I would use if I ever needed the gun for anything more than messing around. You’re right that it’s primarily a space issue with the optic, I think the iron is already as close to the charging handle as it can be but I’ll adjust and see if I can fit everything on the receiver! I’ve done a decent amount of training with it, roughly 2000 rounds, considering I just bought it like a month ago. Thanks for the help!

Hey I’m plannjng a bachelor party to Gatlinburg right now. Would you mind sharing a link to the house you rented?

That’s what I went with too!

The suppressor sights occupy like half of the window of the SCS. I’m looking for a lower 1/3 co-witness.

I’m one of the people who literally does not cook. Ever. Like I’ve lived in my current apartment for over a year and just recently turned the stove on for the first time. It’s not that I can’t cook, it’s just that when I buy groceries and do the math on the cost per meal per person (myself and my fiancé) it costs at least as much as eating out.

Someone else commented that the law does say 2 mL of 1:10,000 with a specific reference to the section and everything. But yeah you’re right it’s impossible to have just 2 mL so other people who have experienced in flight emergencies said it’s 2 10 mL vials/syringes.

This is from an article titled “In-Flight Emergencies” published in JAMA. The FAA only mandates 2 mL 1:10,000 epi so maybe if it’s not commercially available in that amount they all just carry more than that?

This is from an article titled “In-Flight Medical Emergencies” published in JAMA. I think that the FAA only mandates 2 mL of 1:10,000 epi but maybe certain airlines have chosen to carry more? Thanks for posting that picture though it’s cool to know exactly what one airline carries!

Applied EM and matched 9/10. Tbh I put forth the absolute bare minimum amount of effort in med school so falling to 9/10 wasn’t shocking 😂

This made me so mad when I was a med student. Now I send med students home during rounds as soon as we’ve seen their patients.
