Best By Far, Excellent, Durable.
I have this sight on several of my rifles. Easy to install, co-witness with my AimPoint Pro. (Also using the YHM rear BUIS) Easy operation and sight adjustment. I switch between my red dot and the BUIS often to verify zero on a regular basis. Always held true, no signs of wear, still acts like new and it has been on my rifle seems like forever. I have another on order to install on a recently assembled rifle.
Works great
I mounted this on an Anderson 16 inch barrel. Works great. Take your time, line everything up, you will have no problems.
Just what I wanted!
I finally decided to remove my original A2 triangle post front sight on my AR-15 after getting fed up with it taking up nearly the entire view window on my EOTech. First off, this sight/gas block is very well built. It is heavy duty and seems like it can take a beating if it had to. Installation was pretty easy, and trust me I am no gunsmith by any means of the word. It uses your stock gas tube and pin, which make it drop in ready. It is also the same height as the A2, so you can use any standard rear sight with it. I use a Magpul MBUS rear sight, and they work great together. But by far the most impressive thing about this sight is its looks. A lot of gas blocks and sights look aftermarket (i.e. out of place). I have this installed with my black MOE style carbine length hand guard, and boy, it looks mean! Not only that, but it looks like it belongs. The added rail system on the bottom make it look that much more intimidating as well. Mount a flashlight, or a laser, or even a bipod if you want. The option is there for you. I would highly recommend this sight to anyone looking to replace their original A2 front sight. It is out of the way when you don't want it, and flips up when you do.
A+ block
I used this block on a pinned barrel that prohibited normal gas block installation, set it up with a MI drop in hand guard. I have fired many hundreds of rounds and the screws are still tight (red locktite) and the rifle has not had a malfunction. The block and sight are as well made and should perform for years.
YHM's products are solid
New AR build... Great quality and price.
Great sight
For the money, you can't beat it! Not only is it a flip sight, but it is a gas block. If you are putting flip sights on your rifle, then they are most likely back-up sights. These sights are well-made (American made) and accurate. Well worth it and easy to install. The biggest requirement is a little patience in assuring that it is lined up perfectly.
I REALLY LIKE THIS SIGHT
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WAY THE SIGHT DEPLOYS AND RETRACTS IS EASY ONE HAND OPERATION. I BOUGHT THIS SIGHT FOR MY RIFLE AND HAVE PUT 3 MORE ON FRIENDS OF MINE. WHEN INSTALLING, YOU DO HAVE TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME IN THE ALIGNMENT OF THE SIGHT SINCE IT IS NOT PINNED, BUT I HAVE YET TO RE-ADJUST ANY THAT I HAVE PUT ON. IT JUST TAKES A GOOD EYE. MINE HAS BEEN ON MY RIFLE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, AND THERE IS NO SLACK OF ANY KIND. IT'S EXTREMELY TOUGH. THE RAIL IS A PLUS ALSO. THE SAME LIGHT ON YOUR HANDGUN WILL SLIDE RIGHT ON AND IS EASY TO USE WITH YOUR OFFHAND ON THE FORE GRIP. I LOVE IT.
Easy and Sturdy
This was the perfect addition to my AR variant build. It goes on in a snap and stays put. It holds a zero and take standard front sight posts. I changed out the FSP for a thinner diameter one.
YHM Front Flip Sight...
Very high quality piece. Looks as good as it works! Folds low and completely out of the way for optics. Locks into position when up, no lock when folded... though i have not found that to be an issue. Excellent when added with my Samson Star-C Rail.
Good gas block
This is a solid block that installs fairly easily and works well. The sight is sturdy and locks positively in the "up" position. I've put two of these on uppers. I would have given it 5 stars if Yankee Hill included some sort of metal shim that properly spaces the block for installation without a handguard cap.
