    Mr. Altland is correct. These items would all cause disqualification in any N-SSA carbine individual or company match. All allowable sight modifications are listed in Section 19.9.1 of The Skirmish Rules​.

    Well then.....it seem the design will need to be refined before it can be used for more than load development. Thanks for letting me know.

    By dimensionally consistent, I was more referring to the sight being a flat piece of steel and not resembling a Smith L-shaped elevator. That sight would not be functional with the ladder in the lowered position.

    It looks good, man.

    It's in our rules ...........

    I just don't get why some skirmishers just don't read our rules. Many, many questions asked here are answered just by looking them up. Who's to blame when a sight or anything is sold as acceptable and they are on the line and get disqualified? Sorry, just talking out loud......... I am NOT pointing fingers at anybody in particular here.

    Yes it certainly is frustrating. I make a point to read somebody's rules every day. But of course as Wellington said, "Nobody in the British Army ever reads a regulation or an order as if it were a guide to his conduct, or in any other manner than an amusing novel."
