Iron sights for AR

If you plan on using them as primary sights (no optics) then you will probably want elevation adjustable sights. As far as flip-ups (since you specified them) I would go with Matech.

If you don't need elevation, I shot some Troy flip ups that were decent. If you are used to an aperture sight, don't get the diamond shaped ones - they do not shoot the same as the circular apertures.

I have a set of A.R.M.S. sights and they work well.

If you're planning on a scope or sight soon I'd save money and get the Magpul MBUS. Around $75 for front and rear.

Not much of a black gun guy myself. My setup redfield Olympic with Tube, variable peep

I got the nicer magpul buis and I really like them (mbus pro or something like that). Lot of quality at a reasonable price. Also have used Troy's and really liked those as well.

Ugh, missed the flip up part, we'll enjoy the pic!

Magpul MBUS Pro. Very durable sights.

if it's just a stopgap measure until you can swing a scope, and you're not going to abuse it, I'd get the cheapest stuff you can find. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MagPul-PTS-...760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19fa53d658

or something.

There is no shortage of good options. Troy, Magpul MBUS Pro, and LMT are all great options, if you have the budget for it, KAC also makes outstanding irons. If you are on a tighter budget and don't mind polymer, go for the standard Magpul MBUS (I have these on my AR15 and have no complaints, but at the same time I don't have any superlative laced glowing review either).

Be cautious of ebay magpul flip up sights. I got some for too good of a price and they were imitation. Which you wouldn't think would make much difference except at 25 yards I'm aiming a foot high and they won't adjust any further. See this article about them. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/12/chris-dumm/holiday-shopping-tip-spot-the-fake-magpul-mbus/. I read it after I bought mine.

Magpuls are copied illegally and stamped as such quite often. I would NOT buy them from anyone that is not reputable such as Ebay or random ridiculously cheap gun show tables selling garbage chinese knock off junk.

I bought some that were listed as US versions, I got them home and noticed they differed slightly from my others, they were imitations. The other risk is them selling the PTS versions which are not nearly as quality and made in China. They are intended for paintball and training weapons.

Hello,

I'd get behind the crowd offering the MBUS sights. They're affordable and are good quality. We offer the front and rear sights if you'd like to check them out.

Troy makes a really nice flip rear sight. Some websites, such as Primary Arms, sometimes run sales with these sights being under $100. It's money well spent for a BUIS.

The YHM aren't bad, but I like the Diamondheads better.
