What are your favorite folding battle sights?

[Chad C]

I'm looking at Troy and BCM which is made by Troy. Any other thoughts on these little back up gems?

Knights Armament make a great flip up sight.

All of my rifles carry Troy sights.

All of my rifles carry Troy sights.

Do you have scopes on them as well? I'm using the Larue SPR LT104 QD mount on all three of these new builds and I really only want to put back up sights on the 5.56 SPR build and the 300 black. These are the only three tactical type AR's I will have once complete. My others are varmint/boat anchors!

Clearance is my concern.

I have optics on 3 of 4 of mi rifles. They all carry Larue mounts and Vortex Viper PST scopes and clearance is not an issue.

I could only dig up pics of 2 of the rifles at the moment but you get the idea.

Magpul just came out with their all metal sites. They look good.

Thanks Mike! I think I'm more worried about field of vision obscurity with the folding front sight. The Troy sights fold to .5" above the rail and the Larue LT104 gets the optic centered at 1.5" above the rail. I've decided on and now have in hand, a leupold VX-R Patrol 3-9x40mm firedot/TMR that I'm going to put on the SPR build. Hopefully it wont be an issue.

Sounds like I'll have .285" of clearance.

I had Midwest Industries so I could co-witness through an EOTech. MI were solid and I was comfortable with them.

Meh, they cost the same as the proven Troy product and won't be available until late/end of summer.

You don't have to worry about clearance, co-witnessing, etc. I've used these on my carry rifle since they came out, very well made sight.
