I don't like FSBs. I think that with most AR type rifle's having optics added later on FSB's are not a necessity and that fold-down sights are the way to go. For those who like a a co-witness, the fold-down sights fit the bill and are also BUIS.
When scopes started becoming popular and mainstream on bolt action rifles it still took quite a long time for riflemakers to stop making iron sights standard, now you can barely find a rifle with iron sights standard. (Usually rifles in big game calibers or used for big game still come with iron sights, although the rear rights are usually fold-down.)
Who thinks that over time FSB's will no longer be standard and that fold-down sights will become the new standard?
I'm not saying that FSB's will go away, simply that they will become an option while fold-down sights become the standard.
On that note I don't think the US military will ever get away from iron sights and that could effect the big picture for manufactures who cater to the military.
