does anyone know where i can find one and how much they cost? i did a search on the boards but this doesn't seem to have been discussed in the last 30 days... thanks for any assist! |

List price, from Trijicon, is $84 for the set (F&R). The ones I tried out were a two color setup. I think it was yellow dots on either side of the rear peep and green on the FSP. It was a nice setup since it made it quicker to put the front between the two rear dots due to the different colors. |

SAW has the Trijicons, FSP for $53. I would recommend getting the FSP only. The rear is too close to your eye to matter. |
Still pretty simple - you'll need to drive out the pin in the side of the elevation knob (or Disk if you have an A1 upper). Don't drive it out all the way - one end should still be in the knob (it makes reinstallation MUCH easier). You just need to tap it out enough so you can pull the Knob/Disk off the axel (be careful of the detent parts falling out when you do this). Then all you have to do is use a scredrive on the other side to unscrew the rear aperture. This should be covered in the -23&P (see the Information button above and look under Downloads). But like the other I don't recommend the Tritium rear sight - YMMV. |

I think Bushmaster sells the Trijicon unit too; they usually run about $50. I’d recommend only going with the front luminous sight. Having luminous dots in the rear sight that is so close to your eye can be a big pain (for me at least); it creates a glowing haze right in front of your eye. Having a luminous front sight post is really cool though; I’ve got Trijicon units in a couple of my arfs.  |
