    Scalarworks stuff is the heat. I can't wait for their scope mount to come out, it'll probably give the Geissele a run for the money. These will go on one of my guns whenever I get around to making it a priority.

More info on the sights below. Here is a thread by markm on his front damaged DD front sight from 2014 . https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...d-front-sights

    I am not buying it. There is no way that they made those sights twice as good as a set of DD.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    Very nice. It appears to be a very functional and competent setup with the KAC high rise.

    You are correct they are using a much stiffer spring under the rear sight's flip aperture on current production sights. They will also install the stiffer spring on the earlier sights, but you have to send the sight back to them.

    Only heard from one user so far (positive), any links to reviews or firsthand info would be great. Currently running MBUS as my only sighting system on a particular gun. Been pretty happy with them in that role so far (except I hate the way the peep aperture is on the far side of me). Tried running the rear "backwards" but the reflection on the inside of the larger aperture was too distracting.

    Would love to learn more about the PEAK sights. Would be for a Trooper

    I am not an engineer but the PEAK front sight I purchased seems pretty solid. Stronger and lighter than other options and a slightly narrower post. The front is great but the rear sight seems to be a bigger upgrade over other rear fixed options.
