Nah. My XD with Viridian green laser and light does the trick for that. The AR is just a paper killer.

Not even putting a scope on it. Just a lunch box handle.

Uh Oh guys ..... wait for it.........
A motorcycle question !

Lou, you're a hellofa gear miester......
If I put my own Power Dual headpipe on the Fugly this weekend,
am I going to struggle with the exhaust flange fit or bolts at all upon reassembly?
I assume the flange gaskets "slip" into a detent around port (??) and how about the final tightening? Is that a crush gasket? I've heard to tighten by working both flange nuts back and forth to insure best fits.
Done a bunch of previous light and medium wrenching but never on head pipes for some reason.........

You will be fine. Leave the old exhaust gaskets in there. Put the pipe on and sinch the nuts on. Take it for a ride then re sinch the nuts on. A dab of anti-seize will help. Probably some new nuts if they look old.

Tighten them till they loosen up! A cross thread is the best thread!

A good coat of WD 40 should do the trick.
