I ordered a BCM 20 inch a4 upper with a 13inch kmr rail. Want to keep a simple traditional front sight, cant use an A2 but was thinking of the LMT fixed front sight. Scope will be on it but will be a 4x12 so the front sight shouldn't be a problem..... Suggestions on a rear sight?

I like my DD fixed front sight.

Definitely the Daniel Defense.



I have an LMT front that I hate. The huge knob interferes with light mounting.

Another vote for the DD fixed front sight

For a folding rear sight I really like the KAC micro

The DD sight is very nice. This is one is good to go as well:

I thought Troy items were reserved exclusively for FBI sniper teams that feel no remorse for any of their actions.

HA!  Touche, sir!  So much talk about the front in his post, didnt notice the tiny detail at the end.  Hrrmmm....

Well, the re is a slew of rear folding sights.  Personally, Im for the mbus.  Most rugged, and one of the lightest.  I would go for matec or kac otherwise.
Had a magpul pro, but it broke on me.  Mounting bracket is too thin for the type of steel it is.  If im going to put a heavy machined rear sight, then it may as well have range adjustment..

Been using the Samson HK style fixed irons on my lightweight build. So far they are my favorite irons for an irons only rifle. Second choice would be the DD fixed irons, which I have had previously.

I guess we all had the problem of reading the thread title which was "Fixed front sight suggestions..."







Since I already suggested DD as a fixed front sight, I'll add that my go to fixed rear sights are DD and Larue. I usually go with DD now since it's a bit cheaper.


 



OP is using a scope, so he'll need a folding rear. I've used KAC and Troy and haven't had a problem with either. I don't like the Magpul rear sights since the squared off apertures give me a sloppy sight picture. I actually have a several Magpul rears in the part bin that I replaced with other rear sights since I dislike them so much. Fine for a backup if I'd never use it.
