My only complaint...everyone has the "night" sight open, not the smaller rear sight which is used during the day, as it catches the most light.

It is not a "Night" site, it is in fact an 0-2 site. 0-2 standing for 0 to 200 meters and is use to quickly obtain sight alignment in close engagements. -Just your friendly neighborhood Marine
