    Best gear

    When you buy the front you gotta get the rear especially at these prices I wouldn’t buy anywhere else.

    Great B/U sight

    Exactly as described and sale price made it a better buy than other lower priced sights of questionable quality. Needed this for a Dissipator upper (carbine barrel with rifle-length sight radius) and works fine. SKD lightning shipping a bonus!

    Mounted the back up sight and it was dead on. No adjustment necessary. Thanks Magpul. SKD shipping was awesome as usual. Ordered on Wednesday and received on Saturday.

    works as advertised

    Posted by Unknown on 7th Oct 2015

    SKD's shipping was quick as usual. The sight was an extremely tight fit on the rail, had to be hammered forward (I tapped it forward with the handle of my multitool) to slide into place. Very good quality composite, screw fastens it into place. Very sturdy engineering. The flip up design decreases the sight radius (maybe 1") but it's only a backup for an optic anyway. The ergonomics are very good, sight can be flipped up just with a thumb toggle, without taking a hand off the grip. Sight is flipped back down quickly and locks back into place automatically.

    Sturdy product, great price

    This is a great transition from a fixed sight to a flip down/up sight. And just the right price where you don't get junk and don't have to spend a fortune.
