I got an an upper that was missing all other parts. I have replaced the port door assembly and am waiting for the FA to come back into stock at The Citizens Armory, the last thing I need is the complete rear sight assembly. This is going to be a truck gun/shooter and I was thinking of trying to get a rapidex knob but for now just a standard A1 assembly will do. Where is the best place to find one?...Thanks....<><....:)

White_Wolf, any parts you are looking for I might have for you?...

Bushmaster sells them. If you want original, though, you can search GunBroker.

Check with Sarco. A few weeks back when I was in there they had complete sets.

If I do you can have it.

But be prepared to wait. They care not about getting the product to the customer.

DPMS also sells A1 sight assys, but there is no difference between the two aperture sight heights.
