Flat-top iron sights

[michael_aos]

I've got a set of Hays Research Hk Style sights on my 9mm AR (Olympic K9GL).

I really like the front sight, but I'm not a fan of the rear sight at all. Mostly because it sits so low, but I also think the drum rifle right isn't appropriate for a pistol-caliber.

What's a good rear right? It should be adjustable for windage and elevation. Ideally compatible with the Hayes Research front sight. Not looking for a long-range precision sight or anything. Fast-and-close CQB. Steel at 25yds, etc.

So far the only one I've found is the LMT Tactical Rear Sight. Any other good options?

I picked up an ARMS 40 knockoff from Canyon Country Tactical at the last Tanner Show...paid $50 out the door, and its decent enough (the mounting screw rattled off after about 60-90rds today at the range, but held tight for the next 100 after tightening it down with a dime...

Chop a carry handle? LaRue, LMT, GG&G and a few others make something in line with what you're going for. All said and told you should be able to get something off of barfcom for well below retail. The apparent downside to ARMS BUIS's is that they are spring loaded and don't lock in place when employed. This isn't typically an issue for range fun or what not, but I've moved the two ARMS BUIS I have off the go to AR's and replaced them with Troy's .. and am seriously looking at the new MagPul BUIS sets..

I'm finding most rear BUIS aren't adjustable for elevation.

LMT is the one I mentioned initially. I see YHM has something similar. The LaRue isn't adjustable for elevation. Rear sight doesn't have to be flip-up or anything. I may eventually stick an Aimpoint Micro T-1 in front of it.

Do you have any pictures or details on the Magpul? I'm not in any particular hurry to buy anything.

The Troy rear BUIS isn't adjustable for elevation.

Arent standard front post sights adjustable for elevation? The guy at the range was adjusting mine yesterday...

I also haven't seen any rear BUIS that are elevation adjustable.That doesn't mean they aren't out there but I haven't seen one yet.

Well....except for the ones I've mentioned previously in this thread...

Like the LMT and YHM.
