This "Smyth Busters" episode investigates a controversial AR-15 modification: mounting folding front sights backward. The host, Caleb, debunks the myth that this provides better access for accessories like lasers or night vision devices, or frees up rail space. He demonstrates through practical application with Knight's Armament and Magpul MBUS Pro sights, showing that the standard mounting is sufficient and the backward mount creates significant snag hazards and risks damage. The conclusion is that there's no practical benefit to this modification.
