Iron sights never failed me...

Just curious for those who've been OCONUS with M4/M16 and EOTECH. Is it possible to co-witness the EOTECH with iron sights, then etch/scratch etc. across the rear and front sights setting?
If the EOTECH zero is off, you would now just buy simple alignment check on the irons and if the irons are off, you would know just by checking the scratch alignment.

I set up by buddy's and my own carbine that way. In fact, I returned a red dot and Primary Arms did very well with exchanging the defective unit by that very simple check. I noticed the red dot shifted from the mid, top front sight when the sights were perfectly aligned from range use to overnight, cool storage.

I've been impressed with Primary Arms. Prices are good, sale prices are sale good, but specials are really good. I appreciate their can do spirit and customer service. Intrigued at their OPMOD of scopes and wonder at the quality vs price.

yep, that red dot is the cheapie, oldie, but goodie, Bushnell TRS-25. Got one on offset mount on the OBR that's GTG still after 5 years and no zero lost. But when I got another for the PDW and the zero shifted from small temperature difference, Primary Arms replaced it promptly and covered the shipping. Can-do-git-r-done spirit indeed Highly recommended
