Folding front sight ?

[TWR]

I've been looking at folding front sights, first option is the PRI gas block/FSB then my next option is the Troy FS that fits on a rail.

I have a Colt 16" HBAR that shoots well, real well. I added a Houge FF tube and milled off the FSB a few years ago and would like to upgrade/update this gun with a FF rail and back up sights. Right now it wears a Leupold 3.5-10 scope in an Armalite mount but I will change to a LaRue mount to clear the rear sight. I will use the Troy rear sight as I have 2 of them on other guns and I like them.

Anyway I was interested in the PRI sight until a buddy had a 6.8 upper built with all PRI stuff and the front sight wobbles side to side some. I know it's a backup sight but if I spend the money I want it to work.

Next option is an extended rail and the Troy front sight mounted on the rail. How accurate is this setup on probably a LaRue rail. Do they wobble as bad or does it lock up like the rear sight? Any other options I've overlooked? I would appreciate your opinions and experiences.

I have the Troy flip-up front sight on my SBR mounted on a Troy 10" forend.
It has about 1,000 rounds thru it, and it is very solid.

The PRI does have some play in it. If that bothers you then get the TROY.
