I Need AR flip up sight guidance.

[BLIP]

I have a set of those crappy knockoffs sold as Magpul. Got em off ebay I think. PM if you want to try em.

How crappy were they. LOL I'm just trying to get something decent that I don't have to replace in a month but like I said I'm on a budget

Are you putting a scope on it? Do you plan on dropping and breaking your scope. Will you be shot at?

You won't need them if your answers are: yes, no, no.

Get a decent mount, and good glass rather than expensive BACKUP sights you will probably never use.

No plans to add glass

Troy Battlesights are my favorite and what I always buy when not factory installed, like CZs and Sigs. They are pricey so I buy only when I find a deal. Primary Arms recently had them for $59.99 & $69.99, front and rear.

All the feedback here has been really good and if I had the money I think you guys could really help me out. I thought I could do something budget-wise and it appears that I'll just be shooting my flat top with a toothpick taped to the top for a while

Okay let's move on to the next situation. Let's say I've got a crappy scope let's just assume it's a Simmons 4 by 32 for 22 magnum can I squeeze by with that?

Not horrible. They did ship to me in Magpul packaging. They look like the real thing other than they dont lay totally flat.
As for functionality - I suppose they work ok for plinking - I pay for something better if I thought I would take them into battle.
I'll get you some pics...

Ok, irons only. Daniel Defense fixed front and rear sight. No need for folding sights. Still up there in cost though.

Still need a decent mount that will give you a good eye relief. Plenty of cheap ones on eBay or amazon.

I've seen/bought/and sold DD sets for right around the $100 mark. That's not much more than a set of brand new Magpuls. Awesome sights for the money if you don't need flip-ups.

If you're not worried about matching front/rear, I've seen Matechs for $40-$60 which is also ballpark for a brand new Magpul rear. I've also bought KAC rear sights for the same price point, they're still listed on eBay for that range. Both are awesome battle-proven sights. That KAC front is pricey though!

It is also nice to have a trijicon type front sight post, imo
