I see AIM has the Magpul front and rear flip sights for $37 and $55 respectively.

1.) Any experience with these? One would think plastic sights not as good as metal ones, but then again, im sure the same was said about magazines, and then came the pmag...

2.) Am I going to find a better deal than that? This seems to be a pretty decent price to me, but then again, I've been wrong before.

A plastic sight is not an iron sight

They are plastic.  I used a set on my FS2000 when I had it and they worked fine.  However, they won't take a beating.  If you want to use them on a gun for home defense or 3 gun/compitions, I wouldn't buy those.    AIM has a deal on Troy battle sights for $200 for the pair.   I know they are twice the price, but they are strong as an ox.

If you want the Magpuls locally, 400 J&L sells them for $100 a set or a little less.

Are they penny or free shipping? Because I've seen those same prices in other places before.

aim deal is no longer being offered.  i screwed around and missed out.  

ETA:  they initially had them for $189, with penny shipping.  i just checked, and it looks like they are now $200, but no HK style front sight (what i wanted).

Primary Arms has them cheaper

But if you were getting them Penny or free shipping then, yeah, you missed out. Sorry.


Okay... if Aim had them at $55 and $37...free shipping. That's $92 for a set


Primary Arms total after shipping is $91.35 with First Class mail.

$250+shipping?


EDIT : Oh...I thought you were talking about the Magpul ones. My bad.

I just ran a cart check to order and came out with $92 shipped for a front and rear.


I think that is a pretty normal price, not a deal. I've seen better deals on MBUS's on GON.
