Low profile flip up rear sight question

[Micktaco]

Shooters,

I'm looking for a low profile flip up rear sight for my AR. I love my magpul but she sits a little too high when folded down. I am playing around with a cheap magnifier that I picked up and want to be able to mount the flip sight directly under the rear of the diopter. Something under $110 would be ideal.

Something like this?

Have you tried Troy?

 

[Micktaco]

I have seen troy sights, but never compared magpul and troy side by side. Amazon's customer reviews of the TMS were not promising.

i think mi has the lowest at 7/16 of an inch folded. most others are almost twice that

How about flip up sights that don't use a circle at the rear? I need my three dots.

Like Bigjohn said; Midwest industries same plane low profile sights. .4375 inches high when folded.

Expensive at $209 a set (I have them on my MSAR), but very high quality.

If you look below, there are a bunch of other flipup sights below the one in the link

I've been looking too, and wish Magpul made their sight with the option of aluminum and offered one to mount on the sight block.I like the lack of sharp edges. Have you looked at PRI?..

 

[Micktaco]

I am going with M.I. my handguard is made from them, and it is top quality. Looks very low profile too, .4375 inch measurements work out.

I have a set of PRI's at home. I'll have to measure after work.

Matech is rather small but I couldnt stand it. I have a Troy now.

 

[SCARCQB]

MATECH 600Meter BUIS. It fits under a FTS magnifier with room to spare.A fully adjustable for windage/ elevation( up to 600m BDC).This is also the official BUIS that Colt is supplying for the M4 SOPMOD carbines. These are also now available from many distributors for less than 70 buck.

I have one of these, sitting in my parts bin. It was on my rifle for 1 trip to the range. I just prefer the magpul sight...

It's a very low profile when folded.

It's the one w/o the Tritium. They list for $140. The cheapest I can find on on-line is $110 + shipping. How's $85, shipped?

I have the A.R.M.S. 40LP, and it's pretty nice.

I have an ARMS #40 LP as well and really like it.

I too needed a lowpro rear sight and bought this one. It is awesome and priced right.
