    Default AR Pistol Iron Sights

    So I am finishing up my pistol build here shortly and need some iron sights for it. I'll be putting a red dot on it later but just need some irons for the time being.

    I like my Magpul BUIS on my Colt 6920. However they are heavy and not small.

    I am looking for something that is lighter in weight and compact.

    Ideally I'd love some diopter sights. Such as you see on the H&K 416 or MP5. However I am not willing to spend that kind of cash for the real deal, just not worth it to me. Also the only company that I see that made knockoffs was Centurion Arms and they have discontinued them.

    Anyone know of any on the market besides H&K parts or know of other BUIS that are low profile?

    Thanks

    $50 max budget. Don't need anything crazy.

    I looked for diopter sights not too long ago other than what you mentioned, found none. Even if you can find them used they are going to bring a premium. The Magpul Mbus PRO would be a good sight for you IMO. Last one I bought I got for $59.99 on sale at Primary Arms. They are not the lightest but they are some of the smallest and lowest BUIS you can buy.

    Yeah. Sadly that's more then I want to spend on them. Nice sights though.

    When you say that the Magpul MBUIS are "heavy and not small" are you talking about the "pro" (metal) ones?

    Just throwing this out there because I had recently been looking.

    These are the lowest price I could find on a SET of quality, metal BUIS anywhere.

    Going to be difficult finding what you want for your budget. Maybe you can find some airsoft stuff.

    No I find the regular ones to be heavyish and not small. Not the Pro's. I have the rear one on my 16" AR.
