Knights Armament and Jerry Barnhart have teamed together to break tradition, and move in a new direction. While at the KAC booth we noticed a new Aimpoint T-1 mount. This new mount breaks the concept of being able to see your iron sights through your optic, and replaces that with a more “heads up” approach. For anyone who has spent time in a mask, you know how well a traditional cheekweld works. This should prove to aid in this, with the additional benefit of giving a little better situational awareness by not being cramped down on the weapon. This isn’t going to replace anything for distance shooting, but for guys who are kicking in doors and doing raids, I would expect to see more of this style item in the future.
What else does “The Burner” bring to the table with Knights? I’m not sure, I know that a pair of offset sights were built to complement this T-1 (look for pictures soon), but with the abilities that Jerry Barnhart brings with shooting, I’m sure it’s going to get interesting quickly.
