[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Best flip up rear sights with scope mount on a flat top upper

Posted: 10/3/2004 3:36:43 PM EDT

I know I asked a related question a few days or maybe a week ago... but here's a modified version:

The upper is a RRA A4 upper and I have regular A2 hand guards on a 24" Bushy barrel with the standard A2 forged front sight.

I would like a flip up or static rear sight to be used with a scope.

I have 1" high scope rings, what are my available rear sight options? I cannot find any specs about the height of the rear flip up sights in the up mode...

My budget is sub $120 (preferably in the $100 range) - nothing fancy.
Standard A2-style aperture is preferred.

YOU'LL NEED SCOPE RINGS TO BE 1.4" - 1.5" ON CENTER, THE CORRECT HEIGHT FOR A FLAT TOP. TO GET ANYTHING UNDER THE OCULAR LENS.

YOUR BEST CHOICES, IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, ARE:

ARMS #40-L
KAC 600-METER MICROMETER
TROY INDUSTRIES FLIP UP REAR

WES GRANT
M.S.T.N.

How would the ARMS #38 work with its built in flip up?

It would place the scope too high most likely.
