Greetings All,
I found an External Ballistics Calculator on the internet.
http://www.biggameinfo.com/BalCalc.aspx
One of the questions they ask is "sight height".
Does anyone know the "standard" sight height on an AR-15?
I have a RRA CAR with the fixed front sight.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: I'm guessing the distance I want is from bore axis to line of sight over the sights?

I believe its 1.40" from top of reciever to iron sights, but I dont know what the height is from bore to top of reciever. A cleaning rod and a caliper could probably tell you.
 
Greyhunter,
Thanks for your comments.
After I made the post that idea came to me, use a cleaning rod and measure it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
I haven't done it yet, but that's what I'm gunna do!
Thanks,
