    Front sight to work with arisaka offset light mount?

    Already purchased the light and arisaka offset keymod mount and my magpul plastics lights are too wide on the top rail. I would like to purchase a new sight that is narrow on the left side of the rail and it looks like the yankee hill front flip up sight might work does anyone have any experience? I believe the Geissele fixed front sight would probably work but that is a fixed front sight and is out of stock everywhere right now and I need something in 2 weeks. The light is being mounted on the left and that is where I need the sight narrow. Thanks for any help

    If you change your mind and want a fixed one, MI NGAL one works. I bought one like two or three weeks ago, and it was in stock.

    Edit: the handguard I tested this on is a Triarc Trilock. Worked with both Modlight and Malkoff Scout.

    I run a backwards Magpul Pro. It allows my Surefire Pro to sit very close to the top.

    I know for a fact that-

    DD fixed front
    Magpul Pro
    KAC 99051 reversed

    Will all clear the body of a light with an Arisaka offset and inline mount on BCM handguards. If you have a wider profile handguard, they will have even more clearance.

    If you want to have the head of the light flush with the end of the handguard, just grab a DD fixed front and you will for sure have clearance.

    Put the front sight on the barrel. You increase your sight radius and these are much, much better sights.

    It is a 13.5 handguard and a 16 barrel, so it doesn’t need to be flush with the handguard, thanks I will look at the sights you listed. Never cared for the look of magpul pros but function should override looks.

    The steel Magpul Pros are a lot thinner than the polymer MBUS sights.
