Ok guys im fixing to build my first AR.... YAY Anyways i will be buying a package deal as far as the upper goes, from grant at grtactical. It is a flat top and im assuming has the A2 front sight (he listed parts and had "A2 FS" listed so im assuming that means A2 front sight). I have been reading alot about sights here lately and have read about a F milspec sight base, and then i have read about differences btwn A1 and A2 front and rear sights and its all getting really confusing. I dont know what will work properly or be correct to use with an A2 front sight since it would seem that it would be different from a front sight that came on a flat top gun. SO what rear sight will be appropriate, without any complications to work with a Flat top and an A2 front sight (assuming thats what it has)? I have been looking at the M1S and the LMT tactical rear sight. I like these set ups but i am also open to a folding rear sight (troy folding battle sight)... i just really dont know what will work with this setup as i got very confused. Please help me figure this out or just tell me what sights will be appropriate. I will be adding either an Aimpoint or an Eotech later , but first i will need a rear sight. Thank you all for your help. |

Here is a link to the group buy I am running (deadline Feb 20): www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=121&t=413870 Here are some pics:   This is a custom A1 detachable handle that does not include the sight parts kit (sold elsewhere for <$15. They are $85 each plus $10 shipping. Please go to the link I posted above and follow the instructions if you wish to participate. This product represents a great combo between a1 simplicity and flattop versatility. I have one already and am getting another one from this group buy. They're the best irons going (just my opinion)

Everything or anything intended for an AR will work. The LMT you listed is great, Larue makes a simple, solid version as well. Even the folders will line up with the front sight, so take your pick. Deciding is what makes building an AR fun! |
