[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flip Up Front Sight

Posted: 5/29/2010 7:33:16 AM EDT

I just got myself an Eotech and after spending a few days shooting I realized that i do not like having the standard A2 style front sight. So now I am looking at flip up ones and I would like some opinions if you have any to offer. A.R.M.S.® #41™-B-L Silhouette™ or Wilson Combat FUFS. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are links to each sight if you are not familiar with them.

I went with the Troy HK-style front flip sight and a Magpul MBUS rear sight. The Troy is a same-plane iron sight, so you must use it on a railed HG or on a tall gas block.

IMO the GG&G pinned on flip up front sight is the best and it has been around for years but for some reason it is not very popular,
maybe it's the price and their slow delivery times.

I am a big fan of the ARMS one as well, but there is very little information out on the wilson one and I really dont want to be kicking myself in a few months for buying one when i should have got the other. Any other opinions? I am open to all, just as long as it is a barrel mounted/gas block sight.

I have both.

My Wilson is the 1st generation, a little less refined then the newest. (I think Wilson took some of our, the first users, feedback and addressed some concerns).

The ARMS is GTG. However I went with a longer rail with a rail mounted sight. It's now in my parts box.

PM me if you want a good deal on a slightly used ARMS.
