Gunsmithing NEED HELPWITH FRONT FLIP UP SIGHT

[THE SENTINEL]

I added a ARMS 38 with a 40L flip up rear sight.
the ARMS 38 is 1/2 higher than the forarm.I like the Troy flip ups but they
say the sights must be on same plane.What front flipup do I need?

looks to me with that set up that you need to add a 1/2inch riser to the front rail. Most guys run the rear BUIS on the flat top istself and the riser is only used to raise the scope rings ....


Personally I would ditch that set up and get a separate rear BUIS from the riser.

I think it is the same height as the other ARM BUIS

If the apeture height is the same on both models then just get a flip up made for a rail and not a gas block.

Bingo, your sight is part of the rail, not on top of it. Also check out the PRI (Precision Reflex) flip-up front. I run one with a Troy rear, it's a nice combo.
