I'm trying to decide which flip-up front sight to buy for my Stag 2HT.
1. Midwest Industries http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=79 2. Samson http://www.samson-mfg.com/ar-15_html/product/QF-FFS-EXT.html The MI sight folds FORWARD and lays flat on the gas block, from what I'm told. The Samson sight folds back and lays on top of my Samson accessory rail. Do you guys have any photos of these set ups? Does anyone own either? I'd like to see the difference so I can decide. The MI is about $45 cheaper. Thanks. |

The best way to instantly see photos is:
Google Images Just type in "MI sights" and you'll have 100s of examples instantly. |

That Sampson is pretty slick looking.
The MI folds back....I just bought one and it is too long to fit on my gas block - it contacts my ff rail. As per the MI website it folds back. 
I have a similar topic going...have you considered any of these? -Chris |

I'm also in the same boat with you.
As much as possible, I would like to retain the regular plastic handguard of my carbine, as I don't use VFG. I had this thread a week ago. However, still inconclusive... and it does look a bit funny. I'm now looking for reviews of this : 
The above YHM would be a cheaper, but using a gas block gives me a option to mount the Troy Folding F/S. My first consideration for a gas block is that it should be made of steel, rather than aluminum alloy. |

I was considering the MI gas block mounted flip up as well. The last line from the above says the gas block model folds to the front. I haven't tried one, but figured it would work without hitting a rail. From the above pic, I figure you'd just have to turn it around to get it to flip forward. |
