Picked this up from the Equipment exchange board on the ARFCOM board a few weeks. I had my eye on this for my second AR.

This is one of the early prototypes.
The locking bar on the left when tightened still allowed side to side slop when mounted on the rail.

I called PRI and they told this was an early model that shipped out and has since been replaced with the locking bar on the right. And they did not hesitate to send me a free replacement.


The windage dial is also an early prototype and is missing the letter "R" and the Arrow indicating right windage. They offered to replace it if I return the sight, I declined as I'm smart enough to know which way to turn it..

Here it is mounted

Overall I am very happy with it. It is similar to the Troy sight.
It has a same plane aperture
It has a very low profile and fits under an ACOG.

The Windage dial is quite stiff and I am secure that it will not inadvertently rotate and change my windage zero.
It locks in the up position and to lower, you press the sprung loaded button.

I have not zeroed it yet, as I am waiting for my Samson front BUIS. When that comes I'll update the thread.

I bought the complete set a few weeks ago. I had the same probelems with what was supposed to a production model. Mine had the "R" engraved on the windage dial.

On front and rear, when I tightened them down, they did not fit tightly on the rail & exhibited a sloppy side to side fit. I also noticed that on my MUR upper rec., the sight did not lie completely flush in the down position. I'm not sure what was making contact, but it appeared that the body or ears were not machined with enough clearance to lie completely flush. I had not posted anytthing because I wanted to give PRI the benefit of the doubt on a new product. I returned them to the dealer who gave me a full refund.
