I have the M4 Rear flip up sight. I can't decide on which flip up front sight to get though.
Which do you all prefer? The M4 front flip up or the HK front flip up? I was thinking that the HK may give a good line up nice since they would both be circles. Any input? anyone here use the M4 Rear and the HK front? Thanks. |
| I got hooked on the HK front sight when I was issued a 416 and now use MP5s. I just picked up the non folding HK front sight for my personal rifle and love it as well. I thought about going with a set of Centurion for the diopter but they are pricey and I decided to go with a folding rear. |

Tried both and dumped the HK version for the M4.
The circular protective ears of the HK and the rear aperture line up so perfectly that adjustments on the front sight post didn't always translate to a change of impact on paper. Simply put: it was too easy to ignore the front sight post.

H&K is wrong for the AR.
Because you adjust elevation with the front sight post, the front sight is not in the middle of the H&K circle. When your eye lines up the H&K circle in the rear sight circle on an AR, the front sight post may or may not be in the middle of your rear aperture. |
