A.R.M.S Rear 40-L
I use ARMS REAR 40-L’s Tough,Durable made in the USA 🇺🇸. Both of mine have the NSN CageCodes hard to find .i see the ARMS 40-L front sight in stock will be making the purchase
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Well worth the price and hard to find.
I have used their products for years now and have spent a fair amount of time trying to find their folding flip up front sight, the rear is easy to find when in stock. Everyone is sold out or they are asking well over the MSRP. If you want a solid setup that will not fail you and is made in the USA. This is it. This is a very expensive for part of your iron sights which is a downside. With the backup rear sights I have almost 300.00 in just front and back flip sights. Buy once cry once.
Excellent and Well Built
I bought the low profile sight set and I have to say these are the best sights I have use so far. They are extremely well machined and well manufactured. The hold-down is very tight and deployment is fast and firm. I am using them as backup for an Eotech Holosight. The sights just look like they belong on the AR platform and really bring that tactical-military look. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for backup iron sights.
that my seconds product..
the low profile flip up are very good for storage in safe box also easy put whole rifle into the case carry much quick and pull it out much faster.
A.R.M.S. 40L-F
I just received this sight so I can only give an initial impression, but so far I'm pleased. The sight is spring loaded, feels sturdy, looks good, has a very low profile, and has a latch that prevents accidental deployment. However this latch is also a con in that its a bit funky to operate, but I have gotten the hang of it fairly quickly. However it should be on the opposite side for a right handed shooter. My only serious complaint is that the fully deployed position is not rock solid. It seems to retain zero when you activate the release latch. However I can move the sight's position slightly with finger pressure. This is because the two pieces wedge together to form a "stop" when deployed instead of having an actual barrier to make contact between the two moving pieces like a Troy or KAC sight. It appears to be decently strong, but because of this I would not trust the accuracy for long range shooting.
Great Sight but PRICEY
I think Arms makes really good metal sight sets for AR15 or AR platforms but I would not bother polymer sets they're very cheap they break very easily so these are their flagship site set but they're very pricey. to be honest I think there's other brands that deliver the same quality without being $300 + for just a set. As far as performance and accuracy I think they're top notch I had no issues or complaints I would still recommend them if you can get past the price tag because I think there are good product probably the best product they make to be honest.
Not worth the price
To its credit, the spring loaded retaining clip does have a firm, positive lock-up that won't allow the sight to accidentally flip up. The sight itself must be depressed and the retaining clip rotated out of the way before it will pop up, and the process must be reversed to stow it. The threads for the mounting screw come with a rubbery thread lock compound which allows the nut to be secured without worrying that it will vibrate loose during firing. Should it fall off, however, the nut itself is held captive with a dummy wire that runs through the body of the sight. However, for $130, I expected something more substantial than metal injection molding. I suspect I can find a sturdier feeling sight that allows for one handed operation for significantly less money.
