RLP (Red Lion Precision) has designed a replacement front sight for the
Gen2 Sub2000
....
It folds. And has a windage adjustment. And it's
far superior to the OEM sight on the Gen 2. To adjust windage - place the sight tool (included) in the 4 holes on the face of the windage knob or use a dime on the opposite side in the windage screw head. Windage knob is marked for bullet impact adjustment direction. Elevation is a standard AR15 A2 sight post: place sight tool in the 4 half-moons of the sight post and depress the detent to turn the post. Turn clockwise to raise the bullet impact and counter-clockwise to lower bullet impact. Each windage click is 0.67" @ 100 yards. Each elevation click is 1.72" @ 100 yards.

The real improvement is that we won"t have to rely on the pivot block in the OEM sight, which many of us have found to
wander somewhat during use.

Additionally, RLP has designed a recess to accommodate the
muzzle device timing nut, which when indexed your can QD ~ performs far better than the OEM
jam nut that is on the
second-revised replacement front sight. The design has also relieved any direct contact from can to front sight, a real problem that was outlined in the
Nut'n Fancy test performed earlier this year.

Finally, the new sight has a pair of bottom screw posts which
firmly clamp the threaded body to barrel, along with a setscrew aft.
IMO, this should completely eliminate the dreaded sight rotation issue for our favorite subbie. **
