It seems dpms has discontinued the a1 rear sight kit. I'm looking at getting a nodak a1 upper, but I'm having a heck of a time finding a1 sights.

Windham Weaponry.  Not on www. Call,  should be instock and $19.95 for assembly.  Check previous thread on subject for contact information.

Remington is going to gear up discontinued DPMS A-1 production in near future.  Should be available around middle May if you can wait.  MSRP should be less than $15 for assembly.


Windham contact info Mr. Matt Hasty  1-855-808-1888  They should also have teardrop FA unless building a slickside.

I found an A1 site kit made by Olympic Arms. I'm not sure how they are but Midway USA has them. A1 site kit by Olympic Arms .

Also try Slim over at Indiana Army Surplus. Great guy to deal with and he will have what you are looking for, for a full build.

I needed a kit for a build and I didn't want to wait or go with used on my all new build so I just bit the bullet (haha) and paid the price.  It came fast and was exactly what I wanted.  Here are two more exactly the same as I bought available here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=550936094 and also from the same person here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262366399430?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Indiana Surplus still has plenty sight assemblies from M-16 de-mills for $15 per complete set according to contact person Slim.  Has lots of other retro smalls too.  Some prices far better than average and some closer to GB above average pricing.  Depends on item.  The real early stuff will cost more but they may have it also which is half the battle. No affiliation just another retro parts source.  

I thought I was retro parts done but had a relapse and bought a few items.  Numrich got in some more retro smalls also but appears one or two people bought it all up rather quickly.  Been some de-mill action recently so hopefully the parts will appear on retroland builds in near future..

Anyone know of someone that "definitely" has any brand new sets in stock for sale as of 4/9/16.  I need one or two more.

I "Definitely" have some used, but in good shape rear site parts kits off of 603/604s.  IM me if you are interested in looking at them and I can take some photos and send you.
