Imagine the front sight distance from the eye as 100% on both the AR and AK. The rear sight distance from the eye on the AR, M4 or M16 is right at about 5%. The AK's rear sight is about 50%. This is why we naturally place our eye close to the end of a board to inspect for a bend. The AK is an excellent weapon, but sights loose for PRECISE shot placement]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The advantage of the AR15’s rear sight proximity to the eye is that a movement in the sight alignment is much easier to perceive. </p> <p>Imagine the front sight distance from the eye as 100% on both the AR and AK.

Serious difference in sight radius there.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unless the AK can get a free-float barrel as well, the sight radius of the AK is pretty much ‘maxed out’ regardless of whether you can get it stretched all the way to the back or not.</p> <p>With a FF hand-guard, the AR can start as close to the stock and as far as the very end of a 16 inch barrel just before the flash hider.
