are the flip up sights accurate?

Yes. With .20 gram bbs I hit a six inch wide pole from 100 feet away about 8/10 times with the iron sights. The missed shots were only off by maybe 1 inch.

Not very much past 10-15 yards. My son uses this gun and put a small red dot on it.

I have a GG&G 1281 Flip Up Front Sight. They work well together. Make sure that if you go that route, pick the sight that fits what your gun has. Some gas blocks are lower than the plane of where the rear sight mounts. If that's the case, choose the one that specifies "for gas block mounting." Mine happens to be the same plane all the entire length of the rifle, so this one worked fine. It's all aluminum and matches the finish on my rifle very well. Flip ups are nice when you opt to run optics also. Likewise, for red dots, it can cowitness if desired. A good red dot will not require a cowitness. The sight pops up with authority and locks in place. Once locked, it's very solid and steady. To fold, just press the button once more and fold it down...again solid engagement. There are many other sights to choose from. Some excessively high dollar ones that do the same job. As a Soldier with over 24 years experience with this particular platform and various sights and optics, as long as it's zeroed properly and remains undamaged, it'll perform better than the shooter for years to come. The front sight tool that this sight uses is the four prong one. For only a few bucks, it's worth buying it as well. The other option is to use a nail or the tip of a bullet to depress and move the sight as needed...usually causing little scratches where the tool does not. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you ever have more questions that I may possibly have an answer to.

It is redisigned. So far it is true to form. There is no need to adjust for sights if at 25yards. Anything below that, then you need to take that into account on your aim.

Yes they are. If you are using them for a real firearm, buy the good Magpul sights. I am using them on a KSG 12 gauge and they do what they need to do. I am not using them for accuracy in any way. The sights are licenced by Magpul for Airsoft and PTS [Police Training Symulation] to a company in China. The quality is quite bad. Thanks for the question. Any time.

Yes they work great, just a little bit taller off the top of the gun than the factory sights. I have them on my PPQ M2 and absolutely love them.

I've got these on a Savage bolt-action so I couldn't say, but I did have a similiar set-up as what you're talking about on a Ruger that I own and it was a bear finding the right mount. I ultimately had to just search around for a cantilevered single piece mounting system that put the scope forward of the flip-up. It wasn't ideal. I'm going to say that these may be limited to do what you want. Perhaps look at the Nikon one-pieces (or any maker you like) that give you some ability to get the scope forward of the flip-up. Then you get into eye relief issues I know. Seems like a business opportunity for someone because you ain't the only one to encounter this issues. Good luck.

Yes, as good as fixed sights on any weapon. You have to adjust them by test firing and learn how to align them with your target & compensate for distance & windage. You're still better off with a scope.

When I ordered this I got solid sights no flip up so be careful standard sight tool or just a small nail

Yes. It is not magnified so you can look straight through the optic and use iron sights in the even of battery failure. Flip up sights are recommended so they do not obstruct normal use of the Micro Sight.

It co-witnessed fine (absolute) with an F marked A2 front sight post (PSA upper) and Matech BUIS rear (should be same height at MBUS). It also co-witnessed with YHM flip up (gas block & sight) as well as with a MBUS front- both with Matech rear sights. Hope this helps. Good luck.

No, the UTG Flip-up has extra height to work on a recessed gas block. It will mount but will not line up with rear sight properly.

Yes, I guess it ultimately depends on the sights and the model though really. I have a Ruger SR-556, with the stock flip up sights and the visibility actually works pretty well looking through this Eotech, approximately 2/5 of the way up the glass maybe? Not right in the middle, which would be perfect, but plenty usable without having to remove the system. I had to move the sights back and forth a little to make everything fit the way I wanted but it looks good.

Though I am not sure about the flip open covers, but I do want to give you a heads up on the scope. If you are mounting on anything larger than .223 don't bother. Barska recommended this exact scope for my Remington 700P .308 and the sight shifted after one shot. Upon calling to discuss they then stated they would have never recommended that scope for that rifle. I even re-sent their email back to them showing this recommendation and they never responded and would no longer take my calls. So I bought a nikon BDC and shot a hole threw the Barska at 200yrds. I love to show my friends this when they come over. I can understand if they made a mistake, but they would not even acknowledge they did. Shame on them!!

These are designed as back up flip sights. They are not your primary. Therefore they do not have elevation adjustments. Those must be done with your front sight post. Then you have to adjust your aim point depending on what distance zero you use.

I purchased this sight system for a son. He seems to like it and has had no problems with the sighting system. Hope this helps you out.

Yes they are. There is a sight channel down the center of the mount but you have to have the correct height scope rings. This is the reason why I bought this mount so I could use the iron sights also. Hope this helps.

From the top of the rail to the top of the sight, in the flipped up position, is 1.5 inches. Though I haven't done it myself, I wouldn't be surprised if some shooters use a riser under them.
