The design of those sights is both literally and figuratively edgy

don't get the one on the right it is literally the definition of a terrible sight picture, it looks cool but how can anyone even see what they're shooting at with it?

if someone has to go with plasticrap sights go with fab defense because they won't need a tool to change elevation.

Hey OP,

I'm about to give you a Christmas present.


Go to amazon, look up Green Blob flip up sights


They are literally aluminum flip up iron sights that are Texan made replicas of the Diamond Head... same exact design but for $30 instead of $90.

I have two sets for my cheaper AR-15 builds and they zero and work very well.
>>
>>28306278
Troy are literally hands down the best iron sights money can buy, /k/ is just autistic because one of their former employees was involved in Waco.

wow lot of hate, I've had mine and put over 500 rounds combined between my PSA build and another AR-15 using these sights and I am able to pop water bottles at 25 yards with them very easily...

I mean $30 for two sets is much better than paying $75-100 per front/rear sight...
>>
>>28307274
>25 yd
Why even bother with sights then?
>>
>>28305922
Wow, didn't know this was a thing, thanks.
Are there any that don't have the notch for 100yd? I'd rather have 4 holes than 3 + notch.

Wow it's fucking nothing.
>>
>>28307395
theres a notch at a 100 cause if your shooting at a 100 quick sight acquisition is more important than precision
>>
>>28307274
Wow, you're able to do foundational pistol shooting with an AR15. Clearly this means your sights are ready for combat! Watch out everyone, we got a badass over here...

Pop water bottles at 100 and 18 inch gongs at 300 and get back to us about how good your sights are.
>>
>>28307395
Just shoot with the 200 yard hole if it bothers you. On an AR the vertical difference should be less than 1.5 inches when at 100 yards.

Hell, from 12 yards to 250 yards the drop/rise for the 200 yard hole is less than 2 inches in either direction.
>>

>>28307274
i would rather pay 400 dollars for two front sights than pay ten cents for a green boob sight
>>
>>28305810
I got the diamond heads on my ar. The angular nature of the sights really do help with sight/target acquisition. The human eye likes right angles.

I plan on getting a tritium insert front post and maybe drill the rear sight for tritium vials also unless i can get by just painting them.

I recommend a matech rear of a eBay for $30-$50, and MBUS regular front.

Why not get the polymer version? I thought they already have some kind of night glow shit built into it.

Also talking about polymer sights, how does the new Ruger polymers match up against Magpul or Diamondhead polymers?

Mine has the 4 holes, no notch, I'll likely only ever use 300 cause it's how I was trained.

Sounds about right.
>>
>>28309200
On the real, 300 is easy to zero to at a short range and for irons, 300 is the farthest you'll be able to shoot reliably.
>>
>>28309227
There's still a silly amount of ballistic arc compared to the 50 yard zero where aim compensation at 300 consists of [aim at the head to hit center of mass, aim center of mass to hit them in the dick]

So THATS why there's the 350yd setting on the M4 sights. Interesting.
