Man I'd love to have a PS90 to throw behind the back seat of my truck but the cost of the ammo keeps me away.

Why there is no PS90 in 223? Never mind, PS90 is blow-back design.

I just kind of put it on there. I haven't even had a chance to get it sighted in or anything. Wasn't really sure where to put it. My plan was to get folding iron sights first and get the Eotech later, but came across a good deal on this one. But I mounted it a little more forward because I do plan on putting the folding sights on it and figured I would need a little room. I looked at some pictures on another forum for similar setups, and tried to put it around where they had it. How far back should I move it?

I don't want to double post mine but its around page 24 or 25 for an example. I have (since the picture) put folding sights on it and it only took up about 2 slots worth of real estate on the rail. Mine has the T marks, and mine is at T7 with no magnifier. If you aren't using a magnifier then I would have the eotech and the rear BUS relatively close....just seems to work better with the cowitness but then again mine is a different setup than yours and I am not exactly an expert. If you do get a magnifier then you will just have to adjust to get it all to fit as close as possible. Hope that helps.

You could move it back 2 maybe 3 notches, IF you want to. I keep mine a little far forward and it works just fine for me. However I did originally decide to place it that far forward with the intent to get the EOTECH flip to side mount magnifier to go behind it.


Your choice. It's a red dot, so no worry about sight radius, just put the dot on it and squeeze the noise maker.


But I highly suggest you get some BUIS on it.

Then I looked at my rifle and realized I've done the same thing, and I'm not sure why. I went and remounted it 3 slots back from where it was, and certainly gives me a better sight picture than the way it was before. I'll have to go and take new photos now, as the position of the optics in my last post doesn't look right to me anymore:

Here is the positioning on my carbine of an EOTech, the magnifier, and the rear BUIS:


Keep in mind that how much room you need between the sight and the magnifier is going to depend on whether the reticle adjustment brightness/on/off buttons are located on the side or the rear of the sight body. I deliberately bought a unit with the buttons on the side because I wanted to fit a magnifier back there on a flip to side mount and be able to adjust the brightness with the magnifier in the upright position.

Thanks for the pic, TAM. So what does a decent magnifier go for? Any particular brands?

Well mine is an EOTech brand magnifier, and they, along with magnifier's made by other top line manufacturers like Aimpoint and others, tend to run right around $500 +/- a few bucks, with the A.R.M.S. flip to side mount included.

You can pay a lot less than that for off brands. My son has one like that, and I think that the total price in using a knockoff of the A.R.M.S. mount was under $200, but I don't remember the exact price. He bought it at the Ft Worth gunshow. The magnifier itself is "OK," good enough for most use I would imagine, but the flip to side mount was garbage, and it broke about a year later.

Like with most things, you get what you pay for.

Is that foliage green on your AR? I ask b/c I just bought a magpul set in Urban Dark Earth, it was a unique color offered by LaRue for a while but I found it for cheap at SOG Armory and they were happy to give me a deal on it b/c they had no box or any LaRue schwagg or anything. I'm happy but found out I had the wrong diameter buffer tube when I got home so it sits in my safe waiting for me to get a mil-spec buffer tube.

Yessir, Foliage. It's not what everyone else has, and it's still green.

Hm. I think thats the first time that I've ever seen a '74 brake used on an AR. interesting. Nice collection textoys.
