[ARCHIVED THREAD] - detachable rear sights

Posted: 11/15/2003 12:38:57 PM EDT

I need a rear sight for my RRA flattop. I don't want a flip up or carry handle. The only choices I'm aware of are from DPMS and Bushmaster. Are there others? Can anyone make a recommendation?

The BM sight looks lighter than the DPMS and has an A1 type windage only adjustment, where the DPMS has the A2 windage/elevation adjustment. I can't see any operational diff there, since the front sight on my RRA adjusts for elevation.

I'd welcome suggestions. Thanks.

Have you looked at the LMT, [url=http://ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=134&t=141335]HERE[/URL] or thought about a cut carry handle?

Used carry handle from the EE and a dremel.

I know that you said that you did not want a carry handle but I think its really the best option, cost and option-wize.

I'll sell you a cut carry handle for $300 [;)]

I haven't found anything wrong with the Bushmaster in several years of using it.

Thanks, everybody. The cut carry handle is interesting.

Paul...for $300 is there a complete upper attached to it?:)

Ihave a cut carry handle and I am very pleased with it. K-2 sports did it for $25.00 and did and AWESOME job. I'm getting ready to bring him another one.

I use the ARMS #40 on most of my rifles, but you specifically said no flipups.
I've used the DPMS detachable rear sight, and it works fine. The LMT is also a great option, it's burly and you [i]know[/i] it's not going to break. If you're looking for something simple and light, the Cav Arms standalone might be good for you:
