Backup Iron Sights Tactical 45 Degree Offset Rapid Transition with Hexagon Wrench

Awesome Sights and Worth Every Penny!!!
These 45 degree fixed AR15 Sights are GREAT. Easy to install and easy to use functions. I am a firm believer that any AR build should have back up iron sight. Scopes and Red Dot Sight, as great as they are, can fail. A set of sights as a backup could save your life. And these sights are GREAT quality. The price is even better. If you're a gun guy on a budget, like me, then I understand you look for quality and affordability. In my opinion, these sights are worth more than they cost making this a good buy.Disclaimer: I rate items according the quality and price. Meaning I may give something a 5 star rating even though there is a better, more expensive, option available. For example, a $50 red dot sight will not be as good as a Trijicon or EOTech ($500-$1500). If I gave it a 5 star rating it's because I feel for $50 it is well worth the money, not because it is just as good. And it should be obvious to most, but just wanted to clarify.

Great rapid transition sights made of actual metal.
I liked these enough to buy a second set for another gun. They're sturdy and made of metal, so it's safe to mount on the gas block of an AR15. I wasn't sure from the description whether they would work on a basic optics ready AR or not because the picatinny rail on the gas block is lower than the picatinny rail over the bolt group, but they work fine. I knocked a star off because they didn't specify that in the description. These are well machined with clear markings and come with the tools needed to mount them. Once they're on where you want them, use thread locker.

Perfect Offset Sights for Lefties
I was searching for a pair of offset iron sights in a left handed configuration when I came across this brand on Amazon. Any leftie can relate to the struggle in finding left handed components for our guns. Luckily, I bought these offset sights to fulfill my left handed needs. The sights aren't truly left handed, but I flipped them around and still work the same. The rear sight is a bit flimsy at the point where the sight is attached to the locating rail. I still need to test it out in the field, but at the range it's not an issue. The quality of the sights seems to exceed the the price tag.

Cheap metal, bad paint
I started off liking these sights. They are lighter than they look, and the sight picture is good. However, I tried to adjust the front sight with a sight tool, but the metal on the sight post and around the sight chewed up like butter. I was unable to even adjust the post, the post base is too large and there is no room for the sigh tool to fit over the post without scratching up the black paint on the sight.Oh yah, the paint is really, really thin and scrapes off easily.I would not recommend these to anyone that needs a real, mil-spec sight.

Save your money for more ammo.....
When I bought these they were under $18, my setup is a primary arms red dot with a American defence flip to side magnifier with a primary arms magnifier and these 45deg offset sights. Even with the red dot co-witnessed, flip-up backups can't be used with the magnifier engaged, with these offset sights as backups, I can use the red dot with or without the magnifier and never have to deal with flipping up or flipping down disengaging the magnifier ect. They're always ready! These sights are solid, the rear sight has both windage and elevation adjustments, and the front sight has regular mil-spec post adjustments. Once zeroed, you shouldn't need to mess with them.... Nothing wrong with Troy, Yankee Hill etc. etc. sights but these do the job for hundreds less... Save your money for more ammo!

Easy to loose adjustment. Adjustment for basic zero takes up almost all windage.
A seemingly good set of offset backup iron sights, but they aren't that great once you try to zero. My problem is that the adjustment for the rear sight windage takes the lightest touch to change. Considering these are hanging off the right side of the gun, I am positive normal handling like putting into a case and taking it out is going to bump the sight out of adjustment. Would love to hear if anyone has come up with a way to tighten up windage adjustment so it doesn't move so easily. I am thinking of 100mph tape to try to try to keep it where I put it. Also in order to zero at 100 yards, the windage adjustment had to be cranked all the way to the left only a couple of clicks left before it hit the side, so I don't think these sights were lined up well from the start.

... while shooting they always help zero well and tracked nicely have about 15000 rounds on them 300aac and about ...
have had these for about a year now they served me very well on my 300aac pistol but upon putting them on my ar10 (308) the front sight post broke off under recoil while shooting they always help zero well and tracked nicely have about 15000 rounds on them 300aac and about 30 rounds of 308 before the front post broke will be replacing the front post and the bottom line is for the money they have held up very well i would buy again.

Be careful with front sight post adjustments! Mine broke!
The front sight post broke when I tried to make some adjustments. Very disappointing!Now I noticed another reviewer stating the the front sight post is not the standard size. I guess that's why it broke. Now I have to spend another $6-7 to replace the sight post. I should have got the Magpul sights!Update - the replacement front sight post I ordered will not work because the front sight is not the standard size. Not happy at all with this product!
