TACTICON 45 Degree Offset Flip Up Iron Sights for Rifle Includes Front Sight Adjustment Tool | Rapid Transition Backup Front and Rear Iron Sight BUIS Set Picatinny Rail and Weaver Rails

Pros: priceCons: construction, engineering, and execution. I really wanted to believe these sights were decent for the price but I was immediately disappointed. Front sight post was tilted and machined too thick at the base, so much so that the teeth on the included front sight tool couldn’t push the detent down far enough to adjust the elevation.They don’t sit flat, which didn’t bother me as much as the fact it would take a gorilla with a sledgehammer to actuate the release and flip the sight up.When I could actually adjust the windage knob the rear sight wouldn’t move. Whoever is putting these things together needs to lower the torque by about 175 ft.lbs and research what makes other BUIS successful. I have no doubt this guy is a veteran but I do doubt he would take this garbage into combat. Only reason it got two stars is because I got my money back.Do yourself a favor and pay a reputable company for a set of quality BUIS. There, I left a review. Stop emailing me and go back to the drawing board.

These are some pretty solid offset sights. All metal. They are bigger than imagined. Couple of negatives though. The rear sight had to really be cranked down for a solid attachment. Also button is a bit firm to press to get to pup up, could also be a plus. When flipping the rear, the precision/cqb part of the sight will move if it is set at anything other than cqb. You have to press the button to lay them flat again. Magpul mbus spoiled me with just pushing the down. Lastly, due to the spring, they don't sit perfectly flat against the gun. See attached pic. I haven't been able to shoot with them yet, but the presentation, as well as build quality, lead me to believe there will be no problems.

For under $25, I don't think these offset sights can be beat. They feel quite sturdy, mount tightly, and hold zero. The inclusion of a hex key, a front sight tool, and a neat little wooden storage box is appreciated. There are just a couple minor shortcomings that keep me from giving this product 5 stars. First, and I feel most important, is the fact that if you have the rear sight set to the small aperture and deploy the sight from the folded position, the force causes the aperture to shift halfway between the large and small. This essentially renders the rear sight useless until the extra step of moving the aperture is performed. If the rear sight is set to the large aperture, then deploying the folded sight causes no issues.Second, and this is a minor quibble, is that the front sight post leans to one side because of the detent pressing upwards from the opposite side. It is a minor lean and easily corrected for when sighting in the firearm. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. Despite these two issues, I feel that the price is a bargain for this product. Competing products cost 6-8 times as much, so I'm willing to deal with a couple of small design flaws.

I had been looking for some 45 degree offset iron sites for my AR for a back up system to my Red Dot. I had looked at serval different ones in the local stores however the price tended to be $80-$120 range. I just wanted something simple that worked and not break the bank. Due to the Great price and Prime offering, I figured I had nothing to loose on trying one of the more price friendly sets on Amazon and if it was cheap just send it back.When they arrived they looked great and seemed to be well made. Spring loaded hinges and a really nice finish then on top of that they included all the adjustment tools needed to mount and set them up as well as adjusting them. I did run into one problem while mounting, the front one would not tighten down on my picatenny rail, it was still loose even after fully tightening the mount. I do feel that this may be more of an issue with the free floating forearm and rail, as it also tighten down on the rail on my upper assembly fine as well as a M-mod rail I had mounted to the AR. No Problem I just took the mount apart and filed a small amount off the site picatinny clamp and it worked fine.I took it to the range the other day and had no issues siting then in and they look great on the AR. I would highly recommend giving them a try if you're looking for quality at great price. One of the reasons I pick these over some of the others listed on Amazon was the fact the company is Veteran Owned and I'm a retired Law Enforcement Officer.
