OZARK ARMAMENT Metal Flip Up Iron Sights

If you're looking for BUIS you already know what you need. These don't flip up automatically - if you need that, then these aren't going to do what you want. But if you're OK with manually raising the sights (push the button like a flip-up, but then lift the sight with your finger) these are great. You won't have them accidentally pop up if you bump your rifle. Since they stay low until you bring them up, they stay safe. The sight picture is very good. The "reflex" aperture is plenty large to instantly get your sights on a nearby target, and the precision aperture is very small and neat - it's just large enough to get a clear picture in good light of a target in medium/medium-long range (300-500m). The metal is good quality; the hinge is tight and sturdy; the rear sight adjustment knob has a very wide notch so you can use almost anything up to and including a quarter, if you have to; the front post adjusts smoothly with a pin, paperclip, ballpoint pen, or most any other fine pointed object so you're fine even if you don't have a sight adjustment tool handy. Good sights, good value.

Very well made (Metal) back up sights. There is no spring assist when opening, IMO I prefer it that way spring assist sights are much more expensive and tend to self release at the most inopportune times. These are very easily adjusted to zero and windige. These are very similar sights that come with the Sig Virtus AR it's a 2k rifle and also no spring assist. There is a reason they are back up sights, unless you are just using the sights W/O optics, good news they have a great sight picture and the rear sight has transition prep holes for both long and CQ shooting. I was able to get 1 1/2in groups at 50yds. I only had access to a 50yd range, IMO I think they would still do well at 100+yes. To be honest I wasn't really sure what to expect because of the low price. That being said I am very impressed they are every bit as good as the back up sights that I have paid 5 or 6 times the amount for. These are great sights, great value and I will be buying more for future builds especially when brands like magpul are selling plastic rear sights for $79. Update this is my second set. OZARK you guys rock, another great purchase.

Fit and finish are fine, and for the price I won't complain much. But... 1. There are no detent stops on the rear sight when you flip the aperture. 2. The rear sight doesn't sit flat and has a contact point that has chipped the sight and dinged my receiver (not that I care about little dings, but still...) I have yet to shoot them on my rifle. I'm sure they'll work fine--the windage dial clicks nicely, and both sights click positively into place when you flip them up. Just those two flaw have me annoyed.

I've tried a few different variants of flip up iron sights by big name companies and small, and these are by far my favorite. The big name brand Magpul sights are great but have two downsides- 1) Price ($90+ for a set of backup sights? Ouch!) and 2) Great customer service backing them up. The sights adjust well, hold zero, and the fit and finish on them is top notch. I just recently ordered some different equipment (not a pair of these sights) by the same company and received an item that was flawed. The flaw couldn't be detected with a visual inspection, it only showed up with use, so I wouldn't have expected them to catch it before it went out the door. Within five minutes of my email to them they responded, asking a follow up question. When they got their answer from me they responded immediately, shipping me a replacement product without expecting a return of their defective product. After another ten minutes, I had another email from them giving me a tracking number. That's just outstanding customer service, and I have recommended their products to friends. I'd say if you're looking to purchase a good product at a reasonable price point made by a company that understands what valuing their customers is, look no further.

I was very impressed with Ozark Armaments! These iron sites have yet to fail. I like that they are all metal and not the plastic/polly of other manufacturers. They adjust easy and look cool.

Easy to install, easy to adjust, sturdy, and with a price point that makes them a no-brainer. What's not to like? EDIT, DOWNGRADED FROM FIVE STARS: After about 15 rounds through a 5.56mm rifle, the rear sight aperture began freely rotating, destroying sight picture. A tap of the thumb - after EVERY shot - enabled me to sight in the rifle. Lock-tite fixes the free rotation (and disables the ability to switch apertures), and with a red dot sight now on the rifle, I have removed the Ozark sights. Additionally, the front sight post got chewed up from a standard front sight post adjustment tool (that I've used on multiple AR sights over the years without issues). The front sight still worked fine, but just looked like it had taken a beating. Overall, the Ozark sights are a snap to install and adjust, but they didn't seem to handle a day shooting from a bench very well. That whole "sturdy" comment didn't hold up...

Sights were packaged well and arrived timely with no damage to the packaging. They are sturdy and offer a good sight picture. The adjust easily and 1/3 co-witness with the ATN reflex I have mounted with them. They lock open solid and stay put when down. The rear aperture does seem a bit loose, but it stays in place when shooting. I plan on buying at least one more set for an AR pistol and will probably buy a set for my rifle. These are currently mounted on a Roni with a Glock 22. Ozark Armament seems to produce and distribute a quality product at a very affordable price. I haven't put a lot of rounds through them, but I'll update if something changes.

The sights look good, they feel solid, but the front sight wont adjust low enough. I took them out to the range last weekend and spent most of my range time cranking the front sight post down (counter clockwise). I was 18" off from where I was aiming at 25 yards, nice group but way off. That usually doesn't happen, after about 30 clicks down my front sight post looks like it is about to come unscrewed. I am still about 3" high of my intended point of impact. All of my shot groups were 5 shot clover leaves, and I do know that adjusting your front sight post counter clockwise moves the point of impact down and physically moves the front sight post up. I have shot for over twenty years in the Army and I was expecting something like 4 up and 8 right, like when I usually zero iron sights. They are mounted to the top rail of a key mod rail on a diamond back firearms AR. I have zeroed two other optics on this AR and I have not had any issues with them. I truly feel like the front sight post isn't made for this platform, maybe if it had a longer front sight post this could be a valid 5 star product. At this time I can only rate it 1 star because it dosent do what it is supposed to do.
