Which gas block folding front site to get?

[fatcircles]

From searching around in this section it looks like there is the Yankee Hill front site and the Midwest Industries front site. Are there any other folding sights I should look for?

Yankee Hill: http://www.riflegear.com/p-225-yanke...lip-sight.aspx

Or at least which one of these 2 would yall recommend?

Thanks for any help!

neither...those two just sit on top of a gas block with a rail system on it, they aren't actually gas blocks themselves. So if you need a gas block go with one of these YHM (also have rounded hood version):


if you already have a gas block that would accept one of those two, go with the YHM one, but look for the rounded hood one if you can....that's the style i prefer

I'm sorry I don't quite get what you are saying. I have the Stag 3H upper if that helps. There is a small rail to mount them but it is lower than the rail where the rear site sits.

Heh. I have the same upper and a shop sold me the wrong kind of sight.

I ended up getting a Troy HK style front sight (for a low profile gas block rail) to pair up with a A2 style carry handle.

I looked at that sight but didn't see one for a low profile gas block rail. Do you have a link?

Amusingly enough, I have the non-Tritium HK sight... and bought it from an LGS at Tritium price. Yeah, they weren't kidding that all their Troy stuff is at MSRP...
