Photo Request - flip-up gas block sights?

Polymerhead · #1 06-27-10, 11:39

Does anyone have a photo of a 11.5" AR using a carbine handguard and a gas block/flip up sight like the one from Yankee Hill? I just rebuilt my SBR with an 11.5" bbl and fixed front sight, but I may grab a flip-up. I don't think I want to shave the block and put a longer rail on it though. It's heavy enough already.

Thanks in advance.

I think troy has some new flip up sights coming out that are designed just for gas blocks and the difference in height of the top of the upper reciever and the lower height of the gas block. Check out their site.

Thanks but I'm specifically looking for the all-in-one concept, not a separate sight and block. I'd like to see what it looks like on an SBR.

Not exactly what you asked for, but similar. 10.5" w/ PRI gas block

That's the general idea. Thanks for posting. I have a fixed DD rear sight and the standard front sight right now, but if I get an EXPS EOTech I will probably go this route. Doesn't look bad at all, and seems practical.

Thanks again.
