On the site, they're listed as aluminum and polymer construction. What parts are polymer? Looking at mounting a set of backups on a piston gun with the front sight on the rail height gas block, and I'm concerned about overheating a polymer sight base.

Thanks.

But the Troys I want are nearly three times the cost, and take up a bit more territory on the rail. Looking for something to work while I'm amassing enough wealth in the same place at the same time.

Hi TheOTHERmaninblack,

The FFS and FRS have a polymer housing with machined aluminum components. The FFS "Front Filp-up Sight" has an aluminum sight post and internals as well as an aluminum rail mount clamp. The FRS "Filip-up Rear Sight" polymer housing with machined aluminum components also with an aluminum rail mount clamp. As for the melting of the polymer we have never had that as a complaint. We believe that the aluminum rail clamp acts as a heat sync preventing the polymer from melting. Either way we do provide an unconditional life time warranty on all our products.
