Well that didn't take long. Magpul Industries has just released their offset sights. These sights are designed after their PRO line.

I'm going to be interested to see these. There's a 3 gun shooter gal selling a number of her rifles (along with one of her1911's I'd love to buy). One of those rifles she's selling has apparently a prototype set of these sights on it. The rifle I won in the Gunstruction competition will eventually arrive and I designed it with the Surefire offset sights. I'm going to be quite interested to test them out and work with getting used to them.
I have an idea for a new stock that could be quite useful with offset sights.Freedom is NEVER Free. We have to work to protect it and even be willing to die to protect it.

The price is higher on those than I expected, maybe the street price will be lower. But then again it doesn't matter for me since I don't use offset sights.

I don't see the point of flip up offset sights. Fixed offset setups are already out of the way.
