AR-15 - Forged Front Sight or Flip Up
I'm in the process of building a middy. I will FF the handguard, but not sure if I want a forged front sight or a flip up. I like the way that the forged front sight looks but will it get in the way of optics?

Re: AR-15 - Forged Front Sight or Flip Up
Nah, most quality optics and mounts are made so that the optic should either cowitness or cowitness in the lower 1/3 of the sight. Just decide which you prefer then it's on to the wide world of which optic do I want? Either way it's going to come down to mostly personal preference on the front sight. The fold down or one that mounts on a rail will make it easier to change out FF tubes however a std front sight will not be a problem if you are going with one of the two piece railed forends or handguards.

I have a 14.5" carbine with a fixed front sight and ACOG as an optic. I don't even see the front sight through the ACOG. YMMV.
