I am sure I won't be shooting farther than 50 yards with this AR.
Well why not?

Yes. But, the advantage of lowering the rear drum, is now you have the numbers on the drum actually work. So you lower by three clicks, zero at 50 yards, and now the 300 meter setting and beyond will be true (some small error due to set up for a 14.5" barrel, but will be close). If you set the drum to 600 meters, it will be "minute of man"; all you had to do was zero at 50 yards.

The better option than what I do, which is just adjust the front site post. I've just been too lazy to education myself on how to adjust the rear site to give me the additional clicks.
I seem to remember in my USMC days the 200 yd setting was 8/3 minus 2.
I really should educate myself on how to adjust the rear site...hopefully youtube hasn't taken down the videos yet lol.

^^ That should be the 50 yard zero with the A2. A3 and A4 rifle have 0.5 moa elevation clicks instead of the 1.0 moa A2 clicks so you may he seeing about twice the clicks.

Ahhh...makes sense. And perhaps offset a bit due to the shorter site radius of the carbine length gas tube...you come up with -3. Good to know.

They have good customer service and the rep I spoke with about free-floating their HBAR varmint rifle was a friendly guy who you could tell liked to chat about guns. They have a good warranty. I also find their email newsletters full of useful information from their gunsmith on how to modify a AR yourself.
Nice AR and enjoy!
I just read the manual that came with the AR last night and it was mentioned in there clearly on how to zero it. Thanks everyone.
