45

I ordered a set of these backup sights for my budget AR, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. The buttons to pop them up and flip them down were very, very stiff, but I worked them for a few minutes, and then they seem to function better. The flip up aperture was also very loose, and it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that it will stay put, but so far it's working okay. The sights also came with a matte black finish which was a pleasant surprise-- much better than typical Chinese paint or really bad black anodizing on aluminum. finally, I was actually really impressed that they machine to the sites in such a way, that they have a little relief cut, and Kentucky nicely behind the price deflector. This is just about the perfect spot to mount them, so you can still get your fingers on the charging handle without banging into the sights when they're folded down. In this particular case, I think you get more than what you pay for, and I like the site so much that I immediately ordered another set for one of my other ARs. Would I go into a land war in Asia with them? Probably not. But for literally $100 cheaper than a set of Magpul Pro flip up flip down sights, these are an absolute steal. And the funny thing is these actually flip down in the rear in a better configuration than the Magpul Pros!

great option for when your glass isnt an option or close up firing during 3 gun competitions

I recently bought these at first glance they seem to good to be true and I still believe as much. Installation was easy I added blue Lock-tie to secure the sights and keep them from shaking off. Now I’m lot saying that’s what they did but better safe than sorry. The sight have a small gear like knob which you can tighten or loosen to be able to pop open the sight or keep them locked in place unfortunately I did not add lock tie to them.(The- Range) when I was at the range I initially shot my Firearm in standing position however I was unable to tell exactly if my shots where off because of the sights or because of my swaying. After placing my rifle on a brace for it to be steady the shots where to hitting to much left after a couple of turns of the knob next to the back sights I was able to zero in and had consistent hits. Overall it a good product it’s has a solid feel and are very easy to install and zero in. I’ll update in the future after some use to test its dexterity.

These were bought for proof of concept on offset backup sights on a hog hunting rifle. I do NOT expect my primary optics to go down but thought what the yea hey let’s see if I like these. They do work and are quick to deploy. Would I trust them in a 2 way gun fight? NO but for this role they are fine. They are typical imported Chinese colones of what I am assuming is a very expensive original product. They are a light weight metal of some sort supposedly aluminum but honestly who knows. All told though I am please with the price and product.

bought this to put on my AR that I don't use as much as I should but it went on with no hiccups and I wanted some backup 45 offset sights to be able to use they seem solid I don't beat up my rifles or hard use them and seems to be easy enough to get sighted in and hold tight. will update this review if there is any change but as far as I know they work great for a great price

For the price you pay and the quality you get, it is a no brainer to buy these sights. They're not the high priced name brand cantered iron sights. Not like anyone should buy $100 iron sights, unless they have the radioactive night sights. And even then, you probably would have a FLIR or similar night optic. These are daytime sights and work wonderfully at close to medium range. Alloy construction and solid retention springs and locks keep the sight out of the way or upright and sturdy. A must buy. Do it!

Ok guys, we all know why we’re here. Trying to stretch a dollar and get the best bang for our buck. As an inexpensive alternative for back up iron sights these things seem legit. I had to send my first pair back but we will get to that in a minute. Pros: really solid construction. No plastic, or polymer anywhere on these things The 45 Angle is a true 45 and they both match perfectly Wind age and elevation adjustments are made quick and easy Allen key included Cons: The spring assist for the rear sight arrived not functioning (why I sent back) spring not seated in its hole at all so the “pop-up” function doesn’t exist, in fact when you push the button it’s falls even further south of the “down” position. Where the spring seats into the frame doesn’t look like much in the way of retention so the lack of “pop-up” function looks like it could easily happen again. W&E adjustments might be TOO easy. Not a lot of resistance which makes me think it won’t hold zero. **time will tell. Overall it looks like a solid design, with good materials. Possibly with the need for a engineering modifications and a drop of blue Loctite here and there. Returning first set, and having them send me a new set. Will update after the first 100-150 rounds.

Some reviews said they were not sturdy or did not lock in place. I am not sure what product they got, but mine work great and could not be more solid. The spring locks are tight and lock snugly in place either up or down. Rear sight fits perfectly between charging handle and casing deflector. Very happy with it, and may order a few more sets for future builds to be consistent.
