I had a set of Magpul sights on my rifle, but wanted something different, so I purchased a Truglo TG155 fixed front sight. Problem is that the TG is about .100" higher than the Magpul. So my question is how do I know which rear sight to order that is the same height as the front? Im not picky about the manufacturer. (I do the bulk of my shopping online) My upper is same plane.

Is this Truglo sight for a low rail gas block or for an AR-10? Something's not right for it to be that much taller than the Magpul.

Anyway you want to get back down to milspec/flat top height to be compatible with most rear sights instead of compounding the error finding a taller rear.

Yea I screwed up, I bought the low rail sight
