M4Shooter Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Picked up a set of Meps for my M4. The front sight seems straight forward- 5.5mm and some loctite. What about the rear ghost ring? It looks like I have to back out the windage screw all the way to remove the old ghost ring. Is that correct? Thanks in advance_M4. Quote
M1014 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 wanna get a set myself,,just ain't gotten around to it,,,can't be rocket science to install,,get your manual out for dissaembly procedures,,look at the mepro instuctions,,do something Quote
M4Shooter Posted February 5, 2007 Author Posted February 5, 2007 As this post received alot of views here is some info. I received the sights today and installed them. The front sight post is no problem. I took the time to record my old sight settings and installed the new post as mentioned above. The rear ghost ring is removed by backing out the windage screw. I counted 96 clicks to back the screw out from my old zero setting. You remove the old ghost ring with the spring. Install spring in new ghost ring and insert back into sight base. I ran the screw in 96 clicks and and gave it two extra clicks to return to my recorded zero. Right now the windchill is -15F here so testing is going to wait a little bit. The tritium front post is real nice. I played with it a little in the basement and your eye is very quick to pick up the post. It is not overly bright but just about right to give you a quick aim point in low light. I highly reccomend a set for anybody using the irons on their M4. Quote

I am about to install them on mine as well. Quote
M4Shooter Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 Nothing special just the blue LocTite brand. Using the blue will still allow you to disassemble the sight if needed. Don't use the red LocTite- It will take alot to get that loose again! Good Luck_M4. Quote
