PARA sight questions

arakfal · July 05, 2011, 17:56

On the original style PARA sight 150/250 type. Is it made to be dead on at 150 meters and then when flipped it's dead on at 250? Are both the aperture holes the same size? I am going to order a PARA kit and trying to figure out what sites I want to use. I have a spare Holland site, but dnt really care for it.
Is there a good place to buy military(non US made) PARA bolt carriers? I would prefer to use original stuff.

yeah I saw that they had some para stuff, but didn't see where they sold the carrier only. Saw some type of kit or something. I will check them out. Guess I need to pick up some headspace gauges as well.

Ok I found them. Are these sand cut? What about a stock? Anybody using the ACE folder without the receiver block? I would just order a US made kit, but I had shit luck with the last US made one I bought. Generally I've found the original stuff to be better than the US made stuff with the FAL. Well about all firearms I've dealt with.

Honestly DSA makes the best folder IMO. I don't think Sarco's para carrier is sand cut but DSA has them. There has been a lot of less than positive comments about DSA recently but in my experience I have been very satisfied. I buy as many NOS parts as I can get my hands on but some things you just can't get.

I will probably go with the argentine bolt carrier. Convert one of my extra lowers to a para type. Get a dsarms scope mount and I am thinking I can use the holland sight I've got for the time being. Also get the folder from dsarms. Maybe the spring set from sarco. Can't think of anything else.
