MI AR-10 Front Gas-block Sight

[98Z5V]

Men, DSG Arms has 4 of these in stock, and on sale:  Midwest Industries flip-up front sight that is designed to mount to the Picatinny Gas Block, which is AR-10 height.  Should be all .308 AR Pic Gas Blocks, that are NOT designed to be same-plane (there are very, very few of those out there).

 

DSGs regular price is $160 for this - they're clearancing them out at $55.

Nice. Looks like this would be good for the DPMS high And all the manufacturers using that spec if I'm understanding this right? If you are running a standard height railed gas block? At that price..might be good for future trade fodder!

EDIT: And now that I think about it ... I wonder if this would work with the A2 carry handle for the AR10 if the picatinny gas block is NOT of the same height?

It's for a gas block rail that's lower (a little more than 1/4" - .270") than the receiver rail - sometimes called "gas block height"

Example:  You buy this DPMS 308 oracle.  You want a flip-up front sight for it.  Your gas block is a different height than the flat-top upper.

 

 

With the gas block at a different height than the flat-top upper, what do you do? Well, you buy any AR15 flip-up rear, and the MI front sight that I started this thread about...

Perfect.  Thank you.

I sure am glad you put this one out there.  Just got one out the door for $65.87 total which is probably more than 1/2 price off.  I probably never would've discovered this one until long after it was too late.  Thanks again !!!   <thumbsup>

 

Now the more I think about it the better I like this.  I can use a clamp-on front sight block on the 20" upper I am going to build and have a better selection of who's gas black to buy and will have a much smoother upper for mounting of the scope I want to buy.  Won't have to drill the barrel for a gas block that should work great.

 

Happy as all get-out here.   :banana:

Thank you for the assistance.   <thumbsup>

Nice! Would be in the market, but I got a couple of Yankee Machine works adapters that took care of the same problem.
