that rear sight, how much was it? my uncle built some ARs and put those sights on them, he bought some that were $22 and one flat out broke off after about 15 rds..
Sounds about right.
Mine was $30 and it is crap.
Im just in a bit of a financial spot right now and its hard to anything firearm related.
The POS flips back down when you fire, i fucking hate it.
Im gong to a non-flip rear ASAP.
don't be so hasty, the Magpul flip up rear is badass and it's only about $30 (somewhere in that ballpark). good SOLID locking mechanism on it. it don't go nowhere unless you put it there.
of course, a flip-up is kind of pointless unless you're running optics capable of co-witness. back when I had money, I forked out the funds for an EOTech which is why I got the Magpul MBUS. but if I was only running irons I'd have my carry handle on there for sure. It's all up to you bro. but a flip-up is a must-have if you're relying on any kind of battery-operated optic.
I'm sure there's many guys around who may call bullshit on me or have other suggestions but in my limited experience, that flip up has done well for sure. I don't have any experience with the Mpul front sights though, only the rear, so I can't comment on those.
