    I regret buying the LMT sight (carry handle type) because the sight is not squared with the handle. It's only slightly off, but it bugs me.
    Poor tolerances or assembly, I don't know.
    It may not effect the performance, but I expected precision machining.

    i've seen many issue Colt and FN A2s and A4s with rear sights that weren't perfectly square to the handle. its normal. there's a bit of play in the assembly. if you dont like it go for a LaRue or Troy. they are both tanks and exhibit "precision machining" as you say

    You do know that you can leave your flip up sights in the "UP" position and they MAGICALLY become fixed irons right???

    I personally have never understood the need for PERM. FIXED BUIS's as you can just take flip up BUIS's and just leave them up! Flip up BUIS's also tend to me MUCH lighter than fixed. Seems like a no brainer to me.

    LOL, yeah I've thought of that. Plus the lower weight would help. I think I'm going with the Troy flips with a longer rail and low profile gas block. It's got my attention for sure. Plus, it just looks nicer, and will allow me to put magnified optics on if I so desire.

    I have both. Like both.

    I run LMT rear on an MK18 build.

    The ARMS currently reside on a middy carbine with EOtech

    I have Troy rears under an ACOG. I think they are okay. I prefer ARMS though

    I use the ARMS #40 with my EOTech, I had a LMT it was in the line of sight when not in use.

    I like the lmt would also consider the larue fixed sight.

    Every carry handle/A2 type sight I've seen is like the LMT. There is nothing "poor tolerance" about it. You're wrong in this respect or maybe don't know what you're talking about. This is how they are designed take a look at a detachable carry handle some time.

    If you really have buyer's remorse over it, I can help you get rid of the sight.
