What are good, reliable, rail-mounted iron sights for an AR?

MBUS Pros

Magpul pros, made out of metal.

YHM are nice. Very chunky and solid.

Yeah, the guys at the manufacturer told me the same thing. But they also cost almost $200. They say a lot of the LEOs they know prefer them.

Is my option really to pay more for irons than a red dot?

>>33862154
YHM? And what're your experiences with them?

>>33862097
Congratulations!

The first thing you're going to want to do is ensure that the rail is properly aligned with the receiver. Once that is done, head to KAC and get ready to spend some money!

>>33862158
Yeah, it looks good to me. The guys at the manufacturer also made sure to check it out and test-fire it before giving it to me.

>it's not a very long Carbine

Protip a 15" handguard is going to give you a longer sight radius than any AK, and barring a 28" CZ Ultra-Lux any other target rifle that has a practical application outside of Olympic Airgun shooting.

If you are cheap-ass

Slightly more expensive

>Sight radius good enough

Really? And I suppose you're right. The handguard has a rail but the rail goes all the way back to the charging handle, so this could give me a very long sight radius.

Everyone keeps recommending the MBUS Pro. What's the difference between these and the standard MBUS as far as function goes? And I'll keep all of this in mind, thank you.

You should never, ever, ever, ever, spend money on a cheap red dot. If irons are going to be your primary sighting system, and you have no intention on even getting a magnified optic or red dot, you'll want to spend the money on irons that are adjustable for windage and elevation in the rear.

Here is what I'd recommend

If you're going to use these irons as back-up sights, then you can go cheaper and get:

I own them. They're cheap. They do anything an iron sight needs to do. Not going to break if you knock into something.

>>33862157
That's if you want the best of the best flip sights, any kind of fixed sights will work and they're cheap.

>>33862248
What fixed sights would you say are of good quality, and are rail-mountable? I don't have the resources to mount a front sight on the gas block.

For about $120, that ain't too bad at all. How's zeroing them? And for what distance would you recommend zeroing them? Maybe 25m so that I have a 300m battle zero as well, and I can just hold an inch high for elevation in between?
