Sorry if there are similar threads but I couldn't find one when I searched.
I picked up a Mini-14 GB from Lou back when the Great Panic first started. It's a great rifle and I like it as an alternate to my AR.
I've been considering doing a couple things to it and was wondering what everyone's opinions were.
1. I'd like to get a rail mount that replaces the handguard so I can add a red dot or other kind of sight.
I see that there are two main handguard rails I can put on it. The Amega and the Ultimak rail.

Anyone have any experience with either one? I'd much prefer to get one that I can co-witness the iron sights if I have a red-dot mounted.
2. I'm not really a fan of the rear sight. The aperture doesn't seem big enough for me. I've looked at the Tech sight and it seems to be ok but I couldn't find a good in depth review of it.

Anybody have any insight on it, or know of any other rear sights for the Mini-14?
