wooohooo!!! 5 days later i can finally log in without an error popping up.

To clarify, I did not buy the MR from Carlos, I always get mine through CVA as a writer/reviewer/tinkerer. A couple deals popped up where my gun was ordered and something got screwed up and before it could be caught, they were out of MR's. These things are selling like hot cakes and CVA actually has to have them brought in VIA air shipments.

Just was saying that Carlos so far has the best prices on them that I can find.

Mine should be here at the end of the week.

As for open sights, They show you can order it with scope mount or open sights. On our Apex, its a scope only rifle BUT I was able to shim both the rear and front sights up enough for my dad to use this hunting season. I did find a few days ago that the shim allowed the front sight to have some slight wiggle, So I just used some epoxy and fed it under the sight and made a nice bed for the sight to rest on. Solid as a rock now.

Using a TALL front sight and rear sight, the MR would have no issues at all with open sights.
