[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help me with flip-ups!

Hi folks, this is my first post in the optics arena. I am getting a flat top M4 with a gas-block front. The front has rails for mounting optics. I would like to know some of my choices for placing flip up sights, both front and rear. Can you help? I definitely need it!

Hey Collin, I personally like the PRI front flip up sight (clamp model) and the ARMS #40 BUIS. Both are reliable and well made.

While at a gunshow, I saw a front flip-up sight/gas block that was very nearly identical in operation to the ARMS #40 rear sight(same type of latch, spring-loaded in the "up" position). If I were into folding front sights, THAT'S the one I'd get.

If you have any flavor of RAS, you can use KAC's flip up sights for the RAS
