    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?

    I have a tech sight on mine and I like it. I'm not sure if the aperture is a different size from stock though. I addd the tech sight because My factory sight broke and I couldn't get a replacement.
    I'm a fan of tech sights in general though.
