I need to know how to tell if my front sight is legal. I have two 20 mm risers on an anschuts 8002. I see many shooters using very high setups but I do not know the legal limit or how to accurately measure mine. I do however have access to a simple caliper.

Hi,

The max legal height from center of the barrel to the center of the front sight is 60 mm

With a Centra Duo front sight, I have 28mm of riser blocks on my 2002 which puts me at 58.9mm. If you have 2 20mm blocks on there, you're over the limit by about 10mm.

Soupy is about right. I have 28mm of riser with a 22mm centra front sight, so I would guess 34mm or so would be your absolute max riser.

On measuring - use a ruler. If it's too close to tell, make it shorter. Trust me and you'll avoid a lot of hassle.
