anyone have any firsthand experience with them?
links to reviews?
They look really good, wondering how they stack up against the DD fixed which are absolutely solid to me. The weight difference is negligible.
Does anyone else feel the higher quality Al is going to make a significant difference in actual usage?
Any thoughts or experiences appreciated.
I’m trying them now on a Bren. No issues whatsoever.
You have pics of that? I would like to see them.

I’m curious about how much abuse they’ll handle. Not trying to beat on them, but maybe a couple drops and a little pressure to see durability.
Designed with a bunch of input from LAV, IMHO, they are probably the best bolt on fixed sights currently available. I have no doubt that before these sights were released to the public, they were thoroughly tested and their rifles that wore these sights were dropped more than a just a few times.
So what’s the difference between these and the OPS sights?
I believe they are the same, they just changed the name of the sights.
In the description on the site, they say the Peak has a stiffer rotation on flipping the aperture.
What did you use prior to the Scalarworks? In your own personal usage or experience what makes these better than DD fixed sights, Troy fixed, or my persona favorite, Precision Reflex (I actually use a LaRue rear, and a Precision Reflex Front, I’ve used PRI rears but prefer the LaRue rear.). These are the fixed BUIS I can relate to. I have LMT’s but rarely use them, and I haven’t used an FSP since active duty. (years) I’m guessing you used something before Scalarworks, I think with these three, I named some of the most popular in order of popularity (in my mind anyway)hopefully you were a fan of one of them on your AR’s running RDS or HWS optics…
So if that’s true- and you used one of these, what lead you to make the statement that they are the best available? It’s great LAV likes them and used them, but I’m just a guy.
I run fixed sights on all my AR’s that are designated for CQ. So Aimpoint or EOTech.
Thanks for your input.

I have used all three of the BUIS sights you have mentioned and they were fine and I never had any problems with them, I just believe that from the stronger material used in these sights to their lighter weight, plus all the other refinements incorporated into them, along with LAV’s input and endorsement and their lifetime warranty they are currently the best overall aluminum bolt on buis available. More info on the sights below. Here is a thread by markm on his front damaged DD front sight from 2014 . https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?156280-There-are-NO-good-rail-mounted-front-sights

Scalarworks stuff is the heat. I can’t wait for their scope mount to come out, it’ll probably give the Geissele a run for the money. These will go on one of my guns whenever I get around to making it a priority.
I am not buying it. There is no way that they made those sights twice as good as a set of DD.
Very nice. It appears to be a very functional and competent setup with the KAC high rise.

You are correct they are using a much stiffer spring under the rear sight’s flip aperture on current production sights. They will also install the stiffer spring on the earlier sights, but you have to send the sight back to them.
Only heard from one user so far (positive), any links to reviews or firsthand info would be great. Currently running MBUS as my only sighting system on a particular gun. Been pretty happy with them in that role so far (except I hate the way the peep aperture is on the far side of me). Tried running the rear “backwards” but the reflection on the inside of the larger aperture was too distracting.
Would love to learn more about the PEAK sights. Would be for a Trooper
Well, there’s this so far:

I am not an engineer but the PEAK front sight I purchased seems pretty solid. Stronger and lighter than other options and a slightly narrower post. The front is great but the rear sight seems to be a bigger upgrade over other rear fixed options.
I am going to have to check these out
