At the Range with the Curious AR-57

Excerpt from The Shooters Log:

Even a 2.5x scope can be a hindrance up close, so Dueck Defense offset sights were added on the right. A right-handed shooter would rotate the rifle 45 degrees counter-clockwise, while a left-handed shooter would just shoot with the right eye with the rifle remaining upright. Set to the large aperture, the sights provide a close-range alternative as well as an emergency backup. Since iron sights can be lacking in very low light, I added a Viridian C5L light and green laser combination to the very front to minimize the occlusion of the light beam by the barrel. With it, foes or varmints can be positively identified and targeted even at night.
