I'm looking for a resight for an Ar that has elevation and windage adjustment.
Fixed / non fold down that can take a beating. I have looked at the D.D. 1.5 a
But it doesn't say elevation adjust.

I'm looking to put it on a 16in 300 blackout. If the funds become available.
 
LMT makes a really nice one but it’s pricey. Just get an A2 carry handle and cut the handle off. I’ve done that on sever rifles in the past and it works great. Cut off wheel and a dremel. Then a little black spray paint, done.
 
Ma Tech Mil-Spec. I'm putting it on my own Prime Wish List. My Buddy tells me the Marines are using some.

Edited 4/27, my first set is due for delivery today. I will be mounting it with an angle pic mount on my 16" lightweight as a longer range alternative sight to the SPARC II primary optic. It will be replacing a folding angle BUIS already in place. The better quality and resolution, along with the quick adjust for distances out to 600yd, is what I'm hoping with be an upgrade in sight capabilities for the rifle. But right now, I still have to make it work at all.

OP states Fixed irons but I can't really see any benefit over folding BUIS like the Ma Tech or KACs (my personal favorites) after using those two setups for 5 years in the Marine Infantry and 10 in Army SF, I've never seen one break. If fixed is a must TMR137 probably has the best idea. If not PM me, I probably have a Ma Tech or KACs I'd bee willing part with.

I’ve learned to use fixed sights with Aimpoints or EOTecha because they don’t have an etched reticle. I like Scalarworks and DD in that order.

The LMT rear sight is good if you need a match sight and are willing to trade some reliability for it.
