| Im building my first AR and was forgot that if im going to use iron sights Im going to need a rear sight. My front sight is a fixed a2 and i was interested in putting a flip up sight on the rear and possibly a flip up on front. then doing that i would have to change the gas block. just looking for a decent set or single flip up sight for my ar. any input would be appreciated. THANKS! |

I know sights can be really expensive and im already getting above where i wanted my ar to be but im thinking like 80-100 probably.
i was looking at Troy BUIS but they're pretty expensive. Also if i just put one BUIS on the rear will it work with the a2 front sight? |

In your price range, I'd probably just spring for some Magpul MBUS BUIS. Quality and relatively cheap. |

Ill just tell you my build so far.
I have Lower: Spikes Punisher Lower Spikes LPK Spikes Stock Hardware Kit Magpul CTS Stock Magpul MIAD Grip Upper: Complete BCM 16" upper w/ Midwest Industries Handguard Magpul Slanted grip VLTOR offset light mount surefire 6px defender light Im at probably about $900 for all this and am excited to shoot but dont know if thats a good price for it or too much. |

OP, with that upper you should have an "F marked" front sight base, which is actually a different height than the A2 front sight base.
This is good news though, because you can use what's common. I'd pick up a Matech for 50-55 bucks and enjoy while keeping the front sight base. |
