Battle sight zero

[osprey]

I know many on this site have military training and probably most of this is second nature, but for me the concept of the different battle sight zeroing approaches needed some refreshing. My first AR15 I bought about 13 years ago consists of a Noveske mid recce 16" flat top upper and a Rock River lower. I still have this AR and it has mostly been shot with a red dot sight and cheap magpul buis's installed. Some time back I aquired a quality 6/3 marked carry handle sight in a trade. Fast forward to this week and I installed this on the Noveske flat top upper with the F marked pinned fs. Perfect match, but I realized my knowledge on how to properly zero this setup was lacking. After some weak google fu I stumbled on this site I will link. It explains the different battle sight options and how to execute them. It Also breaks down how each compenent substends with different barrel lengths. I and going to use the revised improved battle sight zero. I found this link very informative and hope it will help others. Happy shooting!

The varying distances between front and rear sights from carbine length, mid-length, and rifle length gas systems will require different BSZ procedures as the line of sight and bore sight intersection will be different.

36-yard zero?

I wonder how well that would work for an AR10? I do understand that some rounds shoot flatter than others.
