I could swear I'd seen these mentioned on this forum somewhere, I thought in the BUIS thread but I searching for "Mangonel" finds nothing. To wit: Does anyone have experience with these? Are they good, solid, adjustable sights? They seem pretty damn expensive for coming from DPMS but I like the look of them and how they lock up.

I had a set for about five years. They were well made and did the job.

Thanks for your input. I asked because I randomly came across a set on Gun Broker that's not listed properly since the guy apparently doesn't know what they are. I jumped on a set but he still has another up for bid. From what he told me in an email he bought them from a guy liquidating his gunshop a few years ago either new or like-new and has several sets of them and didn't know what they were really. They're listing on the DPMS website (http://dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=1394) for $225 but he has them starting at zero with a buy now of $70 or so. Here's the auction listing http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=162681555 I thought I would let you guys know since this is an item I've been looking at for a while but would never pay full price for to try out and some of you might be int he same boat. I'll try posting a small review when I receive my set. Thanks again. - Colt
