We are going to be building some uppers that are using a flip up front sight gas block, on our normal upper design with a carbine length tube.
Company "A" builds a reasonably priced flip up rear sight, that is easy to get a lot of for production, but occasionally the recoil will cause the sight to flip down.... not good.

My question, who makes a reasonably priced flip up rear sight, that i wouldnt be ashamed of placing on a modest run of production rifles?

The Magpul MBUS is a positive-lock design, up and down. Polymer material. Fine piece of work, really. Retails about $32, oem cost unknown.

The Magpul really is a pretty nice sight but I think your company will suffer image problems with a lot of folks if you go with a "plastic" sight. There are several lock up type folding sights on the market that would work well and are made of metal. Some retail in the $50-80 range so you should be able to work a deal on a gang lot of them from the makers.

Yankee Hill has a flip up that locks up. See "sample"
At cheaper than dirt stock # ARR-9680. $79.97 retail.
At midway see sample stock# 124-330. $79.99 retail.
NcStar (yuck) has one for $21.97 at CTD. Stock #ARR- 597...
Don't know what material it's made of, locks up though.
I know you aren't gonna order from these guys, I'm just trying to
Get you a visual. I know you're gonna get your parts wholesale.

I've also got a ProMag PM200 rear iron that can be had for about $70 or so...locks in place. Its a clone of a GG&G design that runs about twice that much. Both fold down very low.

great input!

we sell some of the magpul ones but only as aftermarket parts.

ive used the yhm, buttt..... looking for more for similar money?

Since I use a scope on mine for bear hunting, I went with a 45 deg sight for BUIS:

at this point, im really looking into samson products, ive found their forearms to be bulletproof, and their sights are incredible.
struggling though, with the cost of them.
a upper with flip up sights is likely to increase the cost of the system by 200.00


--Q: would that distract the purchaser to another direction?
