Help! Sig sights

[epete]

I bought an "optics ready" Sig 556 today. Optics ready=no damn sights. A brief call to Sigarms... no problem, right? No! The flip up front sights are not available until June or July. I can hear you XCR guys laughing I had to go with the home town team. So, has anybody used the samson sig sights or know anybody else making a sight for that wacky front dovetail?



Also, any ideas for the rear? A.R.M.S. 40? Thanks in advance.

Sampson makes a front sight that will fit the Sigs proprietary dovetail - check out Sigforum.com for photos. The Arms 40 rear supposedly will not fit as it does not open wide enough to get on the rail. I'd probably try a Troy for the rear. Enjoy the 556!
