Kindle Customer: Quality is great. Much like other reviews the spring is a bit weird but does not effected the functionality.

Ben M: If your'e looking for some flip up Backup Iron Sights (BUIS), with a focus on keeping the price low, it's hard to do better than the Ozark Armament sights. I have owned and use several other BUIS, including Troy and Magpul, and when it comes down to it I would have no problem using these sights on a shotgun or as BUIS on a rifle. They hold zero fairly well in my experience, lock solid on the rail, and has a quality sight picture. If you're truly looking for some backup sights to use if your primary red dot or optic somehow broke, then you found the right sights. The aluminum sights provided a much sharper, cleaner picture than the Magpul BUIS. If you still want a few more details, then down to the key points:

1. The front and rear right clamped on to the rails with a solid lock. I have not noticed any wiggle in the movements. When flipped up, they do not lock solid into place, and the sights can be pushed a little forward and backwards. However, Troy BUIS do the same thing, and it's not uncommon.

2. The Ozarks have a button for the spring loaded flip-up function of both sights. These buttons do not need to be pressed, however, and you can always manual flip up the...

Apparition: These are well made, non polymer(plastic), durable aluminum sights. They fit perfectly on a picatinny rail, and sport a catchy ebony/ivory - duo pistol decal on the base of both sights. My photos will look no different than a previous reviewer's, so I wont post them, but at a current price of just under $30 - these are well worth it. Both the peep and open rear apertures are in good spec, and I can focus on the front post as I should. These sights have, so far, handled recoil from my AR-15 without shift(use Lock Tight if you must), and though YouTube may inspire a "torture test", and as durable as they may seem - I wouldn't beat a raised sight against a boulder and expect it to retain it's shape or zero - it IS aluminum, and though harder than polymer, it is a soft metal that can bend.

NOTE: Spectators, and if you are new to back up/flip up sights, please note that the "FRONT sight will require some kind of special "tool"(NOT INCLUDED...and not common to be included)(sold on Amazon) made especially for adjusting the elevation on your front sight, or you may use a military inspired trick where you depress the "detent" down with a bullet tip, then spin the post or the base of...

RayW: Wanted an inexpensive set of metal backup sights for a plinking rifle (didn't want plastic sights) so for $30/pair I took a chance on these. They appear to be aluminum and surprisingly quite well made for the price. Bases are solid and and overall construction is very good. They are a bit heftier than I expected, not necessarily a bad thing. There is no wobble when sights are deployed (raised). Sights are spring-loaded, so push the button & they pop up and lock. Then push the button and manually push the sight back down where they again lock in the down position. The front sight I got was perfect - no issues. The rear sight, however, was badly canted to the side when tightened onto the rail. The sight base was not machined correctly. OK, for the price I never expected "Tier 1" quality sights, but I do expect them to line up straight. I contacted the seller via Amazon (email) one evening around 9PM, included a few pics of the crooked sight mounted to the gun & hoped for a reply within a day or two. WRONG! I literally got a reply back within 10 minutes from the seller!!! Awesome! They apologized for the issue, asked for a few more details and promised to send a replacement...
