Reviews & Ratings for Meprolight M16/AR15/A1 Front Sight — 25 reviews — Page 1

I'm sure it would work on mostAR rifles but not mine I have a rifle made by Radical firearms, my mistake I guess

Perfectly illuminated front sight post replacement, no problems and easy install as long as you have a front sight tool

Definitely not bad to upgrade your front Magpul back up iron sight. Not extremely bright, but will do the job. Keep in mind- the front sight tool that comes with the Magpul MBUS probably wont fit this sight post, so you'll either have to get another one or just adjust it by hand (easy!).

very cool feature: the upper part of the post swivels for easy adjusting.

A very inexpensive upgrade to any AR. The sight post provides a very visible aiming point at night without the use of batteries. Even if you have night vision equipment, at some point you will run out of a way to power them. When that happens, having an alternative in place and ready to use is a win win. Back in the day (M16A1) the tritium front sight left a bit to be desired in that you either had to be one click high or low on your zero and then had to black out the opposing side to prevent observation from down range. Meprolight has fixed all of that. The part of the post that contains the tritium rotates on the base so that once you get a good zero you depress the detent and rotate the tritium dot into view. And if it cause's a distraction while wearing NVD rotate it one click out of the way and drive on until you need it. I really do like this front sight post and recommend it to everyone.

What a letdown, The Tritium is almost nonexisting...I had to look Real Hard 3 time to see anything...You would be better off putting fingernail polish on the front sote post. This is in the mail for return in the AM. SAVE YOU MONEY ON THIS ONE.

This is quite possibly the best low light to no light front sight for an AR that I have ever purchased.Also functions as normal during all other lighting situations ,I would highly recommend getting the rear sight as well. Excellent investment....

I am excited to try this illuminated sight! Hopefully it will solve my low light iron sight shooting issues. Caution: This is a 5 pin FSP not a traditional 4 pin so you will have to get a 5 pin tool to install this sight.

Works just as I had hoped. Easy to pick up in the dark. Easy to install. Going to order another. I really believe this is a better choice than a red dot and faster to bring to arms and does not add weight to my lite weight build.

Great quality, nice and bright, easy to install and received quickly. Installed this post in a MagPul MBUS flip up front sight. Fits and functions perfect. Very bright in a low light or dark room. Highly recommend.

This is my second purchase of this front sight. The first one went on my M16/AR15A1 & this one will go on my M16/AR15A2. I sure wish I'd had a front sight like this when I was in the Army years ago. If you're in the dark to near total darkness, this sight sure helps out. Now I'll have this type front sight from now on as long as they're available anyway.
