Fixed rear sight > Build It Yourself

Posted: 12/10/2013 10:46:24 AM EDT

I have a Daniel Defense fixed rear sight on one of my AR's. Now I'm in the process of purchasing the parts for my 2nd rifle and I need a rear sight. I really like my DD rear sight but this rifle is a "budget" build.

What do you all suggest for a budget fixed rear sight?

Thanks

Do what most on a budget do,get the magpul,they are pretty good. If it has to be fixed,get another DD.

Do you know of anything comparible to the DD fixed rear sight but that is less expensive?

Troy's fixed rear sights are a couple bucks cheaper than the DD.

Midwest Industries has one that is a bit less expensive than the Daniel defense: MI fixed rear sight

Hit up that EE. Trade out some junk for someone else's junk.

I do have a carry handle. Maybe I will try that.

I just bought this LMT set on ebay. You could sell the front sight and end up with a good deal.

That set of genuine LMT sights (I have 11 rears, great sights) run $160-180 at reputable online dealers. Do you really think you got new, genuine LMT sights for $75 off EBAY.
