Looking for same plane folding sights
I am in the market for same plane metal folding sights for my M&P10. They need to be metal due to the front sight mounts to the gas block which can get hot.
Quality and ruggedness is very important but I don’t want to pay a bazillion bucks for them when a couple of hundred will do. I have no clue. Your knolegable suggestions please.

I like these FAB Defense sights from Israel for my nicer builds at $82 avaliable in black, FDE, green and others. Work well ND have found them as cheap as $49 per set but look out for Chinese knock offs of all FAB Defense products. It's quit common so if not shipping from Israel I take a pass.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/FAB-Defense...4AAOSw6ShZQqlo I have purchased a lot of these for my bargain and mid grade builds. Cheap, made of aluminum and work well for $16 to $24. The cheaper ones often ship from China and the more expensive from U.S. made same place but U.S. shipped get to you faster. https://www.ebay.com/p/Tactical-AR-F....c100005.m1851 The $20 aluminum work, work o.k. but I use the FAB Defense and Matech as much as possible when find at fair price. https://m.ebay.com/itm/Matech-Rear-B...m=292519033471

Most of what I have, I have put optics on. But, there is part of me that distrusts it so everything gets back up optics. Of the cheap ones that have come across my bench these seem to be the best I have found.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are a little more, but they are what came on the Sig 716 that I briefly owned. https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Foldin...+backup+sights

For years the Matech cost up to $99 used and more new just for the rear so my guess is seeing so many under $30 is military has surpluses a big pile of them. Slowly putting on many if not eventually all of my F Front sight tower rifles. There are a lot of FAB Defense and Magpul knock offs and they suck. Make sure on either getting the real thing. Bought some guaranteed ARMS sights cheap that showed in boxes marked "air soft only" and total plastic. Luckily when find new vendor with product cheaper than should be buy one unit, then if nice go in heavy day it arrives before they get gone.
FAB Defense and the Matech are all I am buying now but have purchased about three dozen sets of the aluminum flip ups like what I and others have posted in the $19 to $45 price range and seem to all be coming out of the same two or three Chinese plants with different trade names and always assume "U.S. stock" means made in china. Because had almost two dozen rifles with scope and red dot had skipped sights due to economics. Bought one set of the $20ish Chinese aluminum sets from four different vendors picked ones that seemed best and ordered two dozen sets. As deals appear replace them with better in order of quality parts used in each rifle but for now they are good enough for some of the bargain builds.

Order at least once or twice a week from Midway. Last two orders had free schwag included in box. Always click the opt out button on the NRA round up.

Maybe we should start a list of trusted ebay vendors and known scammers. That way if a deal seems too good can see if seller has done business with a files membe and what their experience was. Have a personal list of "buy from" folk and then key words in listings look for to try and weed out the knock offs. Chinese helmets are flooding fleabay. There are guys who even buy the new Chinese helmets, swap in lightly used USGI chin strap and pads, add a airsoft N Rail, custom paint and drag through dirt enough to call lightly used "RARE MICH Mid Cut Helmet Ops-Core EOG MARSOC SOF JSOC NSW". Buyer usually never knows it's a Chinese helmet that won't stop a 22 rimfire.

![]() That is what ebay feedback is for. Read the description, check out the pix, and read the feedback. Compare to the seller's competition. Go with the vendor who gives you the most warm fuzzies. Chi-Com knock-off crap isn't a new thing. Most people with half a brain who buy online already filter for it. Tin foil hats are not needed, just a little common sense. ... and if the buyer does make a hasty purchase without watching the warning signs/feedback, ebay/paypal provide considerably more protection to the buyer than buying from a forum marketplace or most online retailers. The vendor selling the MAGPUL front sight is well established and deals in high volume, with exceptional feedback. And yes, I have personally purchased KAC sights from this same guy, these are the real deal.
