I chose these over the M4 flip up type. Knowing my clumsy self, I'd break up the popup peep sight. So I decided to go with these as they were hardier.
I had to do a little disassembly on both of them and get them oiled. They cranked hard out of the box. Little lube and it's all good. I also applied paint to these (Testors Gloss Red) for everything but the windage gauge near the flip sight, the 0-2 marker, and the R and arrow on the windage knob (those were Testors White). It looks pretty slick. I did it for a first time shooter so they would get to know the sight, and sometimes black on black on black is hard to read.
It's assembled just like every other A2 rear sight, ever. Little lube and all is right with the world.
So I had a Hogue grip with the extended backstrap. I wanted the Sampson tool. I got the package deal.
**Unless you're using a slotted, philips, or low profile head hex/torx screw in your grip, this tool may not fully seat into your grip. Just an FYI.**
Also, the folding everything back up is a bit of a pain with that brush on a wire.
If you have a cleaning kit that goes everywhere with you, then I'd just add that to the cleaning kit and be on your way. It's a bit hard to get it re wrapped and velcro'd and put back into the center of the tool. Ain't nobody got time for that.
This Hogue grip is great, just wish it had the backstrap on it. I gave the grip to a friend.
