I hate the look of the iron front sight post on a standard AR but I really have no use for optics or accessories as I'm currently broke.
Also having just the standard upper costs about $150 less considering mbus sight costs and everything.
What's your take
If you do a flat upper, DO NOT waste your money on magpul flip ups. Those things are shit.
Not the pro models, the metal ones. The cheaper plastic ones are shit, tho.
I've had a plastic gen 1 for near 10 years now. It works just fine, what's your problem with them?
maybe don't buy the cheap airshit knockoffs
You can't go wrong with fixed front sight. Also looks way better.
They work fine. But they will fucking snap and break if you drop your rifle.
I am talking about the plastic Magpul flip up sights, idiot. Which I don't own. I prefer the Troys metal BUIS.

I'd rather get mbus pro
Bought them 10 years ago and they work. I give a fuck about a company's reputation. 90% of the shit you use on a daily basis is from Asia. Who gives a fuck.
Like that m4gery on top.
Is EOkek worth it?
I got it for $300, and it was. It's on my galil ace now though.

Does anyone make a front sight post that isn't a gas block?
I've got a flat top and am worried about the deflection of my free floating hand guard for the front buis. Obviously I've already got a low profile gas block installed.
The only thing I don't like about uppers with standard sights is that they usually have the military style pencil barrels under the handguard. So lame.
I mean one that attaches to the barrel so that deflection of a free floating hand guard won't matter. Those do look really nice though.
there's this one. also I imagine you could stick a gas block sight on the barrel in front of your rail and use it as a sight only.
If you hate the look now, you'll still hate it later when you're not broke. Save up a little and get it how you like it.
Also, if the only reason you don't want optics is because you're broke, I'm not sure buying iron sights is the smart move. Instead of buying $100 iron sights once, then a poorfag optic later, then eventually getting a nice optic of whatever sort, I'd suggest buying the $150-200 poorfag optic now -- that costs $50-100 extra up-front, but in the long run puts you $100 ahead on saving for your eventual real optic.
If you really do want iron sights on their own merits, or if you really plan to save up for a nice optic and have the self-discipline to skip the poorfag optic, then of course that advice doesn't apply.
What has Troy done?
I'm between Troy sights, MBUS pros, and Aero sights for baby's first irons that I'd be using as my main optic until I get a nice optic.

So it's just a political thing, not a mechanical issue?
When someone says
>supporting $COMPANY
that's usually a political thing, yeah.
I mean, as long as you're fine supporting people who want to take away your guns, go ahead.
Sight post.
>not having iron sights is just dumb
