Congratulations on either your first AR platform or a new recent addition to your AR collection. You already are aware of the bewildering array of options you can choose from to configure your AR15 to make it “yours”. Not the least of which is sight selection. Irons, backups, flip ups, fixed or variable magnification scopes, holographic or red dot?
This is a short primer on some of the choices you have and considerations you’ll want to make in determining what’s going to best meet your needs. Feel free to comment, like, share, and subscribe!

Great video. Very informative. Good presentation. A+
Great video and advice. Just the type of advice I was looking for. I can now shop for the type of optics for my AR. Thanks.
i love how its a ar15 sight vid yet there's a tavor in the vid like bruh
Can a fixed front sight interfere with mounting a scope?
Great overview! When fitting the ACOG with a weapon with a fixed front sight, is there any visual interference?
Thanks a lot!
Old video but good, I just got into ARs and this was very helpful.
Well done!!!!!!-Ranger
good vid for rookies well done
It is very NICE to see the MRS. shooting. My "Minnesota Bride," her whole family got my into shooting and hunting. She from Longville, MN, we been married 28 years, I'm California. December I purchased my first AR-15, and I have built one already and I plan on doing another AR build. Thank you for video!
Well done sir. Thank you.
Great video with lots of great info. Thank you!
Platform? My Drill Sgt. must be turning on his grave. He would not even tolerate anyone calling a rifle a gun. " There are only two guns in the Infantry Battalion, the four deuce and the eighty one" He would say. How things do change.
Where can I get a Peace Symbol iron sight?
great video…very informative.
thanks for posting.
Magpul way expensive
very detail explain
….Awesome video!
Great break-down & lesson.
if an ar is dropped is it possible to mess up the free floating hand guard as a result messing up the front sight too? if yes does that make the barrel mounted sight better?
if going with a scope on an ar-15 .223, what power would you recommend. I'm looking at the Vortex viper PST 2.5-10×32 ffp or the Vortex viper PST 4-16×50 ffp. I want to be able to shoot at up to 800 yards. keep in my shoot at that distance will be rare. most of the time my max range will be 300 yards. pls let me know. I've read, and have heard that 4-16×50 is overkill for an AR-15.
Yes I am quickly learning that optics cost more than the weapon I am mounting them on…I have found some less pricey alternatives that are very effective for my needs but a value spread of 1500 yields an unmatched quality level…I suppose it's the difference between a G500 and a Rubicon and your personal finances
I am putting together my Sbr and I plan on putting flip ups on my 11.5" Bcm flat top. Should i get the ones with tritium on them and should it be front and rear or only front with the tritium?
Do you think my Aimpoint Pro would maybe take away from the compactness of what I am trying to accomplish?
What particular brand or model of flip ups should i get, this rifle is for home defense and SHTF duty as well as my road gun for my travels.
I want quality and I don't care about pricing by the way.
Thanks
Great video!
Very informative and entertaining!
What is a cost effective optics platform for the colt M4 that you shown in the video. I like the ACOG, but I am looking for something in the $300 range.
Very informative.
I subscribed… Your videos are very informative. please keep them coming… Thank You
Great video for us rookies just starting to learn about the world of AR.
Very nice video my brother… one of the best I've seen on YT. Very professionally done, and didn't talk down to the viewer. I learned a great deal, and will be subscribing to your channel. I'm new to the whole AR platform, been shooting since I was a kid but this is all new territory for me, but this helped me greatly and was exactly what I was looking for. I look forward to your other videos. PS. Hope you didn't hurt your sites when you dropped them, of course they're probably pretty rugged. Thanks again.
Awesome video very informative.
.
Very good content and very helpful.
Lot's of great airguns out today that come without iron/fixed sights. Where is the best place to find front & rear fixed sights that one can add on?
Very said. Nice job. God Bless…
Just got my first AR. What a great video to help me start the work of finding the right sight! Great video!!!!!!!!
Excellent video! Your humility is refreshing…thanks!
Hi, another great video with useful advice. I'm getting my first AR15 (a Sig M400 SRP), and was really getting a bit confused with all the options. I've decided to put on the Magpul MBUS Pro metal sights (since front one sits on the gas block) for now, learn to shoot it well, an only then move on to red dot or scopes, as you said very well. Thanks.
Good information, Thanks
Thanks very much. I am currently building my first AR and am trying to figure out which sight setup to go with and this was extremely helpful. Because of this video, I'm thinking of going with the flip-up sights coupled with a red dot.
I want to build an AR varmint rifle. Where can I locate a heavy barrel with a 1:10 or 1:12 twist so I can shoot the real light bullets 35gr to 55 gr bullets.
