those panthers tho, I thought were shorterLoon, the one i had was a same plane rail height (windham weaponry). Standard sights worked fine.
The Oracle requires a higher front sight because the gas block is on a lower plane than the picatinny rail of the receiver. I don’t know about other DPMS models.Dont you need a taller than standard front sight for those guys?
They are. https://www.rkguns.com/dpms-panther-oracle-223-5-56-ar-15-rifle.html Can't imagine what the logic was even making such a thingthose panthers tho, I thought were shorter
*NOTE: Cannot be mounted to a railed gas block due to excess heat issues. Front MBUS must be mounted to a railed fore end on the same plane as the receiver rail. Because of this the sight is also not compatible with MOE Hand Guards.
Do NOT order magpul BUIS from Ebay and likely not from Amazon either. Buy from a reputable vendor with a good return policy. I've been burned on counterfeits twice. They are garbage and break upon installation.
Real Magpul stuff is good to go.
There are also fake Matech rear sights out there as well.
I have Ruger flip-ups for my AR & they work great! Theyre about 1/3 to 1/4 the price of Magpul
As far as UTG sights, I have this UTG fixed rear sight on one of my ARs, and am pretty happy with it. It's set up like the A2 carry handles: elevation adjustable, windage adjustable, and with two different sized peeps.
Are you using it with an fsb? I have a new to me rifle with a flat top, fsb, and a cheesy plastic mbus knockoff. I keep getting this and the Daniel defense rear sight in my search and a bunch of sketchy Amazon fodder. I'm leaning towards the Daniel defense but other than the utg name this one has caught my attention.
I've got it on a Delton Sport that has a FSB.

If you have the money for the DD sight, I'd say go for it, but I was personally kind of meh about putting a $70 sight on a $450 rifle. I kept my rifle pretty cheap and plain-Jane with a UTG sight and a sling I had floating around in the bottom of my safe.
It's been a fun setup so far. Accurate and very lightweight.
