Lancer Tactical Flip Up Front Iron Sight for M4/M16
[SF01][15515 / CA-780]New to airsoft? Here are some safety tips for airsoft guns that we recommend following.
The Lancer Tactical Flip Up Front Sight directly replaces the existing triangle front sight for your M4 / M16 Variant Airsoft Gun. The benefits of having a flip up front sight is the ability to increase the shooters field of view especially when using optics. With the sight collapsed, the Lancer Tactical Sight offers a small rail panel for accessories. The metal construction adds for durability and matte black color helps prevent reflecting light.

Seems to be good, it ended up being a little tight to get onto my gun but after working it for a bit i got it. You will have to tap the hole in the end of it though. the sight post is very loose on mine so you'll have to get it where you want it then put some loctight on it.
Pros:
Good sturdy build
flip up
gets rid of the front triangle sight
Cons:
tight fit on my classic army m15a4
need to tap the hole
sight post is loose
Bought this to replace the triangle sight on my m4. It does its job pretty well, it would work well on a RIS that has a cut out for the stock triangle sight i don't know if they will line-up due to that I don't use a RIS on my m4.
Pros:
-Made of sturdy metal.
-Great replacement for the stock triangle sight.
-It's both a back up sight for when your optics get shot and mounting point for reflex type red dots for better field of view.
-Easy to take off due to Allen screws.
-Can still use hand guards with this.
-The sight is at the same level as the triangle sight so the standard rear iron sight can still be used if you don't have flip up rear sights.
-Helps give the gun a nice flat look
Cons:
-A bit of a pain to get on.
-The ring that keeps hand guards together has nothing to keep it attached to front sight if your gun doesn't have a fake gas tube.
This sight is a great replacement for those who need a front sight assembly on the M4/16 platform because they have quad rails as opposed to free-floating rails, but want a flush frontal assembly that will not interfere with scopes or other optics. This sight is a budget, easy-to-install, and adaptable piece that'll do exactly that. I've slowly built a Classic Army M15A4 into a DMR setup with a long barrel, and this has been a great replacement for the triangle sight, because it does not affect my clean top rail profile but also sits a perfect height for both flip-up and carry-handle iron sights.
The durability of the sight itself is decent and it's solid metal with a decent finish. The sight post on the version I received can be screwed up or down to raise or lower it. As opposed to being secured with two pins and an allen screw as on most triangle sight fixtures, this sight needs you to eyeball it to being even with the top RIS on your AEG and simply slide it over your outer barrel and screw in the two allen screws (provided). After minimal tightening (no stripping), the sight is rock solid and can support more than the gun's weight, and looks very cool and clean.
Overall this sight is a great buy and I would recommend it to anyone. I bought mine at Evike however as they look and function they seem to be almost identical (save for a hollow QD mount on the element/King Arms version sold @ evike)
Pros:
Durable
Clean
Easy to Install
Flip-to-Rail functionality makes this a multi-use platform.
Tight
VERY Affordable!
Cons:
Cheap screws look like they may strip if discretion with tightening/loosening force is not used.
Screws are NOT metric.
