[@Genesis23OPB]

@henry sixx, jr 5.56 is generally a bit hotter than 223

[@project86xero]

Awwww... see I thought it was mk262 77gr ammo because you didn't state it 15 times. I mean that's what the military uses now an I'm sure it's backwards compatablewith the sights, twist rate, and barrel length. Because assumptions.

Thank you Paul for your instruction

[@rockerdude8000]

Paul isn't the a3 just an a2 with a full auto instead of a burst mode. I think you mean a4 that's the one with the flat top receiver

[@NoBrakes23]

@@rockerdude8000 The A3 is an oddball that the Navy got. I handled them when I was aboard the Stennis and they were pulling Marine AOs for ship's security. Like you said, it is full auto instead of burst. They were made by FN, and the stock had a weird fuzzy quality to it, (Maybe that's just because they were brand spanking new.) Seemed identical to A2s in every other way. There is definitely some confusion about the A4 flattops. I've heard flattops called A3 and A4 I'm not sure where that comes from though.

I've always skipped past this presentation, because after 30+ years of service, I felt confident I have a good idea how to zero the AR platform. Not that it would be a waste of time, but more that I prioritize what I watch and when. Well, I'm going through watching every one of Paul's presentations. I'm glad I finally did watch this presentation. Though I am not wrong in my understanding how to zero, I still learned something from following Paul's way; which I will look to incorporate into my own shooting. I appreciate Paul spent the time sharing with us.

[@JaredAF]

Hey Paul, the Marines still use yards. I remember being taught to zero the ACOG/RCO at 100 yards and 100 meters interchangeably, and this was also shown in the data book. In fact it can be seen in MCRP 3-01A (Rifle Marksmanship) Ch. 8 pg. 10. We were told the the reticle graduations were measured in meters, however. We also shot on ranges that were measured in meters but they were converted from yards. So for example, 457 meters, which is 500 yards.

[@marvnation924]

Although your comment is pretty old at this point, you are correct. In my last year I was a CMC and helped zero on the RCO7 and align with the tip of the chevron. Our range was in yards so when our guys were at 500 yards I'd have to tell them that usually aligning the 500 at the bottom of the silhouette would land them shots on the black. I never had the pleasure of working with the iron sights on the M4/M16 platform and I can really appreciate how braindead easy the RCO was to use, pretty flat shooting with the chevron but once you get to 25 yards if you use the RCO you're aiming with the 400 meter on table 2.

I used the A1 platform for 16 of my 20 years, and actually was very competitive with it. When we were issued the A2s, I would always shoot with the small aperture. Aim small, miss small. I never had to use the A3, but I'm sure that I would have adapted. Now I use a magnified optic on my AR platform (.223/5.56 and 6.5 Grendel) to get tight groups. There are two ways to do this; the Military (Army and Marine) way, and the wrong way! Good explanation, Paul

[@1337penguinman]

Because the military, up until very recently, wanted match grade rifles and sights. I'm pretty sure the only thing that finally changed it was the last of the WW2 and Korea vets leaving the service. When you got the Vietnam and Desert Storm vets in authoritative positions we start getting things like the ACOG and M4.

[@toddk1377]

The A2 is very simple, lol...superior to the A1 sights imo. If you shoot and train with that gun, certain ammo, with the sights it has like the A2 sights, it's stupid easy. Can also make a dope card to keep on or in a storage compartment to remember exactly what's what.

[@CountArtha]

Daniel Defense makes an "A1.5" rear sight that goes on a flattop upper receiver rail. It has the rougher adjustment of the A1 (no way to mess up your zero!), but the large and small apertures of the A2. I think it's the best of both worlds, personally. Here in Florida I doubt I'll ever get a chance to shoot farther than ~250 yards anyway, so I just sight it in at 50 yards and leave it there.

In the IT biz, we have a lovely little saying that you may want to add to your vocabulary, Paul. It's very simple, and goes: "RTFM." It sands for "Read The F***ing Manual," and if I were you it would be my considered reaction to most of the comments you're citing at the beginning of this presentation. The saying, as commonly used, applies to more than just user manuals. It means you need to pay attention to what's going on before you start sounding off. In this case, the folks who evidently watched little bits of your previous video and commented in error needed to RTFM. Likewise, those who watched the whole video and somehow didn't comprehend what you expressed very well also needed to RTFM.

Excellent, accurate, substantive video as all of yours are. I was also trained on the A1 (5.56mm M193, 55-grain) via USMC and your explanation on dialing-in is 100% for the A1. But on the A2 (5.56mm M855, 62-grain "green tip") and most importantly, using that upgraded A2 sighting system with the correct BZO - the army uses the (25m/300m) BZO (27yards/328yards), and the Marines use a (36yard/300yard) BZO, which both work in conjunction with the A2 (8/3) (6/3) sighting system. IMHO, the important thing to take away with the 300meter/300yard BZO is that this weapon and its 5.56mm cartridge and sighting assembly was designed for that BZO, and once that zero is achieved, the soldier's/Marine's POA/POI at the tip of the front sight post will put that 5.56mm round in the center-mass kill-zone from 0-300y/300m by just keeping the weapon's elevation drum set for 8/3 or 6/3 and using the small aperture.

Interesting video Paul, especially the talk of Yards vs Meters in zeroing the M16 platform. Personally, I was taught in the Army (around 99-2000) to zero at 25 meters and the targets are stated to be in meters. This is with a A2 model of course due to the years I did it. I am not sure when the military jumped on the metric wagon but at the time everything was in meteoric as it still is today. It’s funny how many people want to argue simply based on their own experience as being the “absolute” right way, but you explained it well as to how you were trained in a certain way and for sake of explanation you can only show it how you were taught. It’s that simple, no argument required. Keep up the good videos!

As usual Paul this video was very informative and entertaining. Thanks for what you do.

[@charliedee9276]

Another excellent video. Having just purchased an A2 the timing of coming across this video was perfect. I must say, ALL your videos are very concise and detailed. Anyone who cannot understand them probably shouldn't be using a firearm in the first place.

[@petesheppard1709]

Great video! I hope you will do a follow-up on how carbine-length sights differ. Also, a discussion of BZO (battlesight zero) would be informative for many.

"Now I could stand out here for the next couple of hours and give you a really *inadequate* explanation..." :-) Love these videos, Paul. Because of you I kept my 92FS.

[@natural-born_pilot]

Very well made video and easy to understand. You explain everything very well. I admire your explanation in the beginning giving benefit of doubt to those who never pay attention and taking fault. It also shows your perseverance to ensure they understand with that I can safely say that all interested viewers who paid attention understood your instruction without problem. Thanks for the video.

Paul, sir, you are helpful, honest and fair. Keep up the great work and thank you!

[@PreppedReView]

I just want to say thank you for all this knowledge this content gets me threw the everyday grind thank you and God bless

[@chord972]

The first 5 minutes could have been an excellent stand up comedy routine! Thank you.

[@mwalker1975]

I always enjoy Paul and his explanations. It's great to get the why with the how.

[@scottasbell5837]

Outstanding video, one of your best. Two Thumbs up!!! You are the recipient of one of the most difficult to earn awards in shooting and I would love to see an in-depth video on how to earn the Distinguished Rifleman award.

[@billbrydon3725]

Thank you. As a novice shooter, your videos are extremely informative and helpful.

Paul is that type of dad that knows your wrong, sits u down n talks a few minutes without saying “you’re wrong” n then makes u say “Damn. I was wrong”

[@dalanwanbdiska6542]

How do you know?

[@forge52100]

Brings back memories, love your channel.

[@bronzestar3557]

Finest instructions for iron sights on an AR I have ever witnessed. Excellent work. Thanks! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ebroebro1]

Brace yourself! Requests for instruction on zeroing various flip-up rear sights with fixed front sights are coming.

[@checkpoint3260]

Wait... they flip now? I'm so confused... I am just going to drink this bottle of A-1

[@markmiller1503]

Now that's a reference to the meat target !

[@imoutofideasfornames]

TheStylingsofVigilance They’re basically the same as A1 if they don’t have same plane apertures, or A2 without the elevation drum if they do have same plane apertures... I think. Lol

Even chipmunks trust Paul Harrell's aim with their life. 20:50

[@NickFrom1228]

I was wondering if people would notice that.

[@ernestpaul2484]

I found a T-shirt that says: "I can explain it to you, but I can't make you understand". I am going to purchase this shirt now more than ever after hearing your opening commentary about the previous AR platform comparasion video. Thank you for your due diligence and patience educating the unknowing and refreshing the knowledgeable.

[@walterdecker9337]

Appreciate all that you do and teach. I have learned a lot and watch every video you have out.
