Fixed front sight / Free float tube / 1-4x red dot optic?

[220]

I plan on moving my Aimpoint over to my next build (pistol) and installing some DD fixed sights onto my current DDM4V7. Once I can accrue the funds I think I'd like to add a Meopta ZD into its mix. I performed an image search and all the fixed sight, 1-4x pictures that came up had A2 handguards with FSB. It may be a dumb question but is there anything wrong with my plan? I'd like to lower 1/3 the scope as far as co-witnessing goes.

Your rear fixed sight will be a pain to deal with, so ditch it for a folding sight.

Ah, I had thought about that earlier today. Well my pistol and a 22lr A2 should be finished in two weeks so I think I'll get a flip up rear for the A2 and fixed for my DD. Once I can get the scope I'll swap the flip to my DD and fixed to the A2.

Why not flip up front and rear? I believe the v7 is a free float tube with no sight post?

[220]

Correct. Can't really answer that. I just really liked the idea of having fixed sights on my rifle. I liked the idea of the illuminated (red dot) scope for bumps in the night but looking around I stumbled across some front sight Tritium inserts. I think I'll go this route and just assemble a dedicated precision rig someday.

A 1-4 scope will work fine with a fixed [i]front[/] sight but forget using a fixed rear sight with a scope.

I'm new to long guns in general. Maybe I don't know what's best for me and should be asking for suggestions instead. What would Calguns do in my situation? My current setup is a ddm4v7 with a Aimpoint H1 lower 1/3 co-witnessed. I have a completed 80% and three stripped lowers sitting in my safe. In two weeks I'll be placing an order for a 300blk pistol upper as well as a 22LR CMMG A2 upper. I still like the idea of a fixed front sight with a tritium insert on my DD but I'm not set on it. Longest range I have access to is 200 yards but mostly shoot @ 100. Maybe I should be looking at a longer scope? 4-16x perhaps?

So here's the rundown again of what I have currently.

-Aimpoint Micro on a lower 1/3 co-witness mount
-DDM4V7
-80% with 300blk pistol upper
-Stripped lower with a 22LR CMMG A2 upper
-Stripped Lower
-Stripped Lower

I'm now thinking about putting the aimpoint on my pistol and carry handle on my A2. What's a good way to set up my DD as a general purpose rifle that can do what the others can't? Perhaps a fixed front with tritium insert and a primary arms 4-14x while I save up for something nicer?

In early 2000's I ran an Aimpoint CompM2 on an A2 carry handle rifle with a forward mount. It cowitnessed on the lower 1/3 and worked just fine.
