I'm considering putting a YHM flip up front sight/gas block on my 11.5" upper.  I've never used any of their products.  Any opinions, pros/cons of their products would be appreciated.

I've used them in the past on economical builds.  Quality is decent and had no real problems.  My friends, who the rifles were for, have reported no problems.

Compared to PRI or Troy, they lack some refinement such as: corners kind of sharp, machining isn't as "complex", movement of flip up sight not as smooth as the higher end sights.  I remember one sight with a bit of play in the up position.  I sent it back and received a replacement that locked up much better.

Overall, they work as advertised and you should be pleased as long as you know what you're getting.  IMO, they're a good value.
