for AR-15 or any other P-rail for that matter? Any out there that fold down, work fine, are fully adjustable, but are not extravagant? No Wilson, Troy, Larue, YHM, GG&G, etc. Something maybe $70 or less for BOTH front and rear, but with reasonable quality? I'm not planning on my scope going T.U., and if it does, it will be quickly replaced next time I am home, so the sights are truly a very temporary BUIS, not a primary sight, so I see no point in spending a lot. Thanks.

At $70 per set, maybe you could use sights from an Airsoft gun? I can't tell you how much punishment they'll take but they are made from metal.

Granted with shipping you over $80

Hmmm, those 'airsoft' sights look suspiciously like these Pro-Mags:

Dontcha think?

Also, what is a "Any RAS/ RIS / 20mm Rail"? Same as P-rail, or are airsoft rails different?

Thanks for the help.

I've been happy enough with my YHM flip-up sights on my Recce-style M4gery.

Those do look alot like the Pro-mags.

Not sure of the RAS/RIS....

If you figure out the details and get some, let us know how they work out!

Okay, nevermind.

I just went ahead and ordered these, made by Leapers:

total was under $87 to my door. I know, it's ghetto, but I doubt I'll ever use them since I prefer my optics. :)

Thanks again.
