Any interest in a folding sight guide?

**Stickman** · 13 March 2009, 19:11

The KAC thread got me to wondering. Do you guys have any interest in a front folding sight guide (barrel mount), similar to the front and rear BUIS guide that currently exists?

If you do have an interest, what companies are you interesting in seeing included?

Yes. Vltor, PRI, YHM, MI, ARMS, Young Mfg, KAC, Samson.

*edit to add a few more*

That sounds great, also any knowledge you could pass along concerning set screws/pinning, taper pins vs. straight pins and so forth. Is there a way to tell visually if taper pins or straight pins were used?

Yes that would be great.. Plus Stickman picture goodness is always a plus.

I think I have already shot pictures of most of those, so this should work out half way decently. They won't have all the same layout, but it should be a good start.

Any other ones you guys can think of?

Many of them are clamp models, or have versions for both pinned and clamped models.

Hmm.. I think we are missing:
GGG
PRi

Not really crazy for them.. but I figured to mention them.

I didn't think they made any barrel/gas mounted flip sights.

I'm not sure when it will be finished, but work on this review has begun.

KAC unit.

What is the model number of that sight, and where could I get one?

**Stickman** · 26 March 2009, 19:43

Its a KAC folding front sight, you would have to contact them. My understanding is that they are in the process of getting dealers setup that are able to properly drill and install this unit. Once the dealer network is setup, they should be much more available.

Thanks, I will be on the look out.
